White House says US ambassador to Greece Guilfoyle asked to resign
The request follows reports that she sought a $100,000 payment from a Trump donor and faced an inspector general review, officials said.
- On Tuesday, Kimberly Guilfoyle resigned as ambassador to Greece amid reports she used her position for personal enrichment. President Donald Trump immediately distanced himself from the former Fox News analyst.
- Corruption accusations plagued Guilfoyle in recent weeks, including reports she pressed donor Eric Deters for $100,000 and pushed "governments from Bulgaria to Albania" to sign deals with her foreign associates.
- The Journal reported Guilfoyle bragged about "close ties to two Greek tycoons" bankrolling her travel, while the Associated Press noted Trump and Secretary Marco Rubio were "extremely pissed off" debating her termination.
- In her resignation announcement, Guilfoyle denied the allegations, stating, "These allegations are false, and I intend to vigorously defend my name, my reputation, and my integrity" and citing her decades of public service.
- Audio tapes previously captured Guilfoyle urging a Greek businessman to secure her an invite to an Eric Trump dinner, saying she could "deliver the world to you." Trump later told reporters he "didn't like" the reports he had read.
