Republican donor Eric Deters has filed a defamation lawsuit against Kimberly Guilfoyle and her legal team in Kentucky, following her resignation from her ambassadorship to Greece. Deters alleges Guilfoyle sought $100,000 from him in exchange for assistance with the Trump administration, claims that her team disputes.

Elon Musk donated $158 million last month to the Senate Leadership Fund PAC, which subsequently funneled the funds to support Republican Texas Senate candidate Ken Paxton. The donations represent Musk’s significant return to political funding ahead of a tightly contested race against Democrat James Talarico.
