Donor Eric Deters sues Guilfoyle and her lawyers in Kenton Circuit Court (KY) for defamation; says in video discovery will include Donald Trump Jr. and 'might just bring down the entire Trump administration'

Deters, representing himself, filed on 2026-10-15 (reported filing date) in Kenton Circuit Court, Kentucky, against Guilfoyle and her lawyers Jesse Binnall and David M. Schwartz: defamation and false light against all three, breach of an alleged verbal contract against Guilfoyle alone, with compensatory damages and a jury trial sought. The alleged defamation is that her side told the WSJ the texts were fake and he was “a known blackmailer.” In his Facebook video (posted Thursday 2026-10-15) he demanded an apology, an admission the texts are fake, and $1 million, and said discovery would include Donald Trump Jr. and administration records. A Trump Jr. deposition is not scheduled or ordered; the “bring down” line is Deters’s claim, with a teased unreleased Greece recording whose contents are unconfirmed. No complaint or docket text was read, and no case number was found. Original lead’s “Don Jr.” and “bring down” claims are thus located (his video), but unproven.
