Reed: Guilfoyle Case Shows Anti-Corruption Reform & Real Oversight is Overdue

PROVIDENCE, RI – As the former girlfriend of President Trump’s eldest son, Kimberly Guilfoyle had a front row seat to the Trump Administration for several years while she dated Don. Jr. from 2018 to 2024. President Trump then tapped her to be his ambassador to Greece in 2025. Guilfoyle resigned in disgrace this week following a series of allegations of misconduct, including claims that she offered a political donor access to senior administration officials in exchange for money. Today, U.S. Senator Jack Reed issued the following statement: “Corruption within the Trump regime is rotten, rampant, and continues to cost taxpayers. “The Guilfoyle case exposes how Trump officials continue ignoring the basic needs of the American people to focus on their own, personal financial enrichment. “It seems likely that Guilfoyle was emboldened by and followed the same pattern of grift she witnessed others in Trump’s inner circle misusing to cash in. “Despite these accusations coming from a Trump booster, President Trump is giving her the same type of soft landing that Kristi Noem was granted for similar wrongdoing. Instead of condemning misconduct and demanding a full investigation, the president said it was “too bad” and the White House press secretary praised Guilfoyle as “a wonderful asset to the team, and we wish her well.” “Ms. Guilfoyle’s alleged misconduct is egregious and similar to her ex-fiancée, President Trump’s son, who let a Russian oligarch fund his lavish tropical wedding celebration. “Democrats know there is an incredible need to pass bipartisan anti-corruption reform to prevent President Trump’s inner circle from enriching themselves by subverting the federal government, selling out taxpayers, and obstructing the fair and impartial administration of justice. We’ll see if Republicans share that view.”
