Kimberly Guilfoyle, Donald Trump Jr's lap-dancing girlfriend, wasn't present on Jan. 6 out of patriotism. She wanted her $60,000 speaking fee, damn it. And that fee was just for introducing her future father-in-law, the disgraced one-term President who tried to cling to power with a failed coup. Guilfoyle was chasing that money even after the Jan. 6 insurrection.
The House Select Committee investigating the Capitol riot dropped some more transcripts on Wednesday, including one featuring a deposition by GOP fundraiser and organizer Caroline Wren.
The Independent reports:
In her deposition, Ms. Wren was asked about emails in which Ms. Guilfoyle made repeated inquiries about the speaking fee, both in the days before the rally and following the rally, at the same time police officers and national guard soldiers were clearing pro-Trump rioters from the US Capitol.
The emails were dated Jan. 2 and Jan. 6 2020, with those on the latter day being sent at 10:54 am — before the rally — and after the rally, at 4:17 pm.
Ms. Wren told the panel she believed Ms. Guilfoyle had actually sent that last email the previous day and suggested that it was delayed because of the lack of wi-fi on her plane and the large number of people overwhelming mobile phone networks at the Ellipse on the day of the attack.
The $60,000 fee was paid to her by Turning Point Action, a political affiliate of a right-wing group that targets high school and college students, Turning Point USA. Both organizations are run by activist Charlie Kirk, who is known to be a strong supporter of former president Donald Trump and a close friend of his eldest son and namesake.
It's always a grift with the Trumps. Kim should fit in well with that family. Oh, and I'll never forgive her for this:
Or this:
No forgiveness.
