White House says US ambassador to Greece Guilfoyle asked to resign
The move follows reports that she sought $100,000 from a donor and accepted improper gifts, prompting an inspector general review and congressional calls for inquiry.
- On Tuesday, White House press secretary Katie Zacharia announced that President Donald Trump asked U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle to resign amid mounting misconduct allegations during her tenure in Athens.
- The Wall Street Journal detailed questionable conduct by Guilfoyle since late September, including allegations she solicited $100,000 from donor Eric Deters for administration access and accepted lavish gifts from Greek businessmen.
- Defense attorneys David Schwartz and Jesse Binnall deny allegations, maintaining the $100,000 was payment for prior speaking engagements, while the State Department's inspector general investigates her financial dealings and conduct.
- President Trump expressed dissatisfaction Monday, telling reporters, 'We're not happy,' while Guilfoyle wrote on X that she intends to 'vigorously defend' her reputation, thanking Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
- Congressional Democrats, including Rep. Gregory Meeks and Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, are demanding full oversight to determine whether Guilfoyle solicited funds from other sources and misused her diplomatic position.
