Kamala Harris plotted to prevent me from getting a job, says Kimberly Guilfoyle

Vice President Kamala Harris tried to block Kimberly Guilfoyle – the former prosecutor turned Fox News host and later MAGA girlfriend of Donald Trump Jr. – from getting a job in the San Francisco district attorney’s office over 20 years ago, even going so far as to falsely pose as a member of the hiring committee, according to allegations in a New York Times Report.

While Harris says she never suggested Guilfoyle could be unemployed, former District Attorney Terence Hallinan, her boss at the time, largely supported Guilfoyle's version of events, the newspaper reported. Hallinan died in 2020.

The controversial incident between the two occurred around the year 2000, Just Harris said. She called Guilfoyle — then a lawyer in the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office who was negotiating a return to San Francisco, where she had previously worked — and told her, Guilfoyle claims, that there was no job for her.

“She pretended to be a member of the hiring committee, which did not exist,” Guilfoyle told the Just“She was threatened. Most things in life have a meaning – jealousy, envy.”

The Just reported that prosecutor Hallinan said Harris “forbade” him from hiring Guilfoyle, even though he was her boss. He didn't listen to her and hired Guilfoyle anyway. In a note to an assistant explaining her return, he wrote, “Timing is everything!”

“If she ever did that, she was smart,” Stanlee Gatti, a close friend of Harris and best man at Guilfoyle’s wedding to current California Governor Gavin Newsom, told the Just.

While Harris is now the Democratic nominee for this year’s presidential election and Guilfoyle is a MAGA fanatic who travels the country as one of former President Donald Trump’s most vocal surrogates thanks to her engagement to Don Jr., Just reported that those around the two in 2000 did not consider the clash to be political.

Rather, it seemed as if there was some kind of “personal conflict in their social circles,” according to the Just(“She wasn’t a great support for women,” Guilfoyle told the newspaper.)

They didn't work together long, but briefly formed two parts of a triumvirate seen as the future of Democratic politics in California. Harris left the district attorney's office at the end of the year and eventually launched a successful campaign to oust Hallinan from office in 2003.

Newsom, Guilfoyle's then-spouse, was the third member of the trio and won the mayoralty in San Francisco that same year. “Forget 'Kennedyesque.' I think we need a new word – Newsomly,” wrote Rob Morse of the San Francisco Chronicle in 2001. “And Julia Roberts just wishes she was played by Kimberly in a wedding movie.”

Guilfoyle, on the other hand, has become a fixture on television thanks to her media savvy as a prosecutor, who gained particular attention for a high-profile case in which a woman was killed by a dog whose owner had ties to the Aryan Brotherhood.

She was apparently wearing a bulletproof vest under her evening dress when it was reported that an attack was planned on her, Just reported. The station's managers took notice of her and in 2004 she became a presenter on Court TV – the beginning of a meteoric career.

Before she got the TV appearance, Guilfoyle also attacked Harris in the chronicle for allegedly trying to keep her from getting a job just before she and Newsom were due to take office in 2003. “Talented women should support other talented women,” she told the newspaper.

Newsom and Guilfoyle divorced in 2006. As governor of California, he is now campaigning for Harris, albeit in a scaled-down role compared to his star status in the Biden campaign. Guilfoyle, on the other hand, is a de facto member of the Trump clan.
