Ms Now Anchor Flat Out Asks Trump Donor If Paying Eric Trump And Don Jr Scored Him Anything In Return

MS NOW anchor Peter Alexander put former Trump donor Eric Deters on the spot, bluntly asking whether the money he paid to President Donald Trump’s sons, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., had won him anything in return.

Deters appeared on Thursday’s edition of State of Play, where he was pressed on a bombshell Wall Street Journal report alleging that Kimberly Guilfoyle, the U.S. ambassador to Greece and Trump Jr.’s former fiancée, sought $100,000 from him to cover her American Express bill while offering political influence in return.

“Kimberly Guilfoyle is a grifter!” Deters declared in a fiery response to Alexander’s questioning.

The anchor then moved on to another tidbit from the Journal’s reporting — Deters had paid Eric Trump $200,000 and Donald Trump Jr. $100,000 in speaking fees.

“You paid Don Jr. and Eric hundreds of thousands of dollars in speaking fees,” Alexander noted. “I think $300,000 in total, you said. Did either of them ask for anything in return from you?”

“No, I had no issues,” Deters confirmed. “The only thing that bothers me about Don Jr. and Eric Trump is how they — along with their father — are getting rich out in the open with crypto and everything else.”

The former donor to the president continued:

President Trump said he hated crypto. His son’s getting crypto. Now he loves crypto.

In my opinion, Hunter Biden and Joe Biden were shadow grifters. The Trumps are in the open. I mean, they’re all — it’s the same thing being done in a different way. Jared Kushner — $3 billion fund from Saudi Arabia after he negotiates the Abraham Accords.

I’m a Midwest farm boy. I’m a good dude. I don’t like their yuck-yuck world. You couldn’t pay me to go back to Mar-a-Lago.

“I need to note you do have a track record of making false statements in court proceedings that led to the suspension of your law license,” Alexander offered.

“I do not!” Deters clapped back.

According to The Hill, the Kentucky Bar Association “twice suspended him over misconduct, including making false statements in court proceedings and filing frivolous claims.”

As for Trump’s crypto profits, the president revealed in June that his family’s crypto businesses brought in a whopping $1.4 billion last year.
