Trump donor Eric Deters has sued Kimberly Guilfoyle and her lawyers for defamation, escalating the dispute over an alleged $100,000 American Express payment request that preceded her departure as U.S. ambassador to Greece. Deters announced in a Thursday Facebook post that he filed in Kentucky state court. The defendants include attorneys Jesse Binnall and David M. Schwartz, CBS News reported.
