When I read about Kimberly Guilfoyle and Donald Trump Jr. I have to shake my head in amazement. The same Kimberly Guilfoyle was at one time married to Gavin Newsom, former Mayor of San Francisco and currently Democrat Governor of California.
Kimberly, along with her trophy mate role with Gavin Newsom, was an Assistant District Attorney in San Francisco.
Her rise into the stratosphere of the MAGA Fox News Trump World orbit is mind boggling. Now Kimberly’s bright star in the House of Trump may be in line for some serious legal housekeeping.

It’s been an eventful few days for right-wing royalty Kimberly Guilfoyle and Donald Trump Jr.
Kimberly Guilfoyle and Donald, Jr. share a moment together as the MAGA crowd looks on
On Friday, the couple seemingly revealed that they were engaged—then days later, it was reported that, actually, the spawn of satan had gotten down on one knee a year ago but for some reason the duo had decided to keep it a secret.
On Monday, we learned that Don Jr. (along with his sister Ivanka) had been subpoenaed by the New York attorney general, and were apparently refusing to comply with the order. And as the anniversary of the violent attack on the Capitol approached, we’re reminded of the ProPublica report from last fall wherein text messages sent by Guilfoyle about the January 6 rally that preceded the deadly Capitol attack suggested Team Trump was even more intimately involved with the planning of “Stop the Steal” than previously thought. Best wishes to the happy couple?
Kimberly Guilfoyle, a top fundraiser for former president Donald Trump and the girlfriend of his son Donald Trump Jr., boasted to a GOP operative that she had raised $3 million for the rally that helped fuel the January 6 Capitol riot. In a series of text messages sent on January 4 to Katrina Pierson, the White House liaison to the event, Guilfoyle detailed her fundraising efforts and supported a push to get far-right speakers on the stage alongside Trump for the rally, which sought to overturn the election of President Joe Biden.
Guilfoyle’s texts, reviewed by ProPublica, represent the strongest indication yet that members of the Trump family circle were directly involved in the financing and organization of the rally. The attack on the Capitol that followed it left five dead and scores injured. A House select committee investigating the events of January 6 has subpoenaed more than 30 Trump allies for testimony and documents, including Pierson and Caroline Wren, a former deputy to Guilfoyle. But Guilfoyle herself has so far not received any official scrutiny from Congress.
