President Donald Trump has ordered the resignation of Kimberly Guilfoyle, the U.S. Ambassador to Greece, following allegations of improper conduct and financial impropriety. The White House requested her departure on Tuesday after media reports surfaced detailing claims of unethical behavior during her tenure. Guilfoyle, a former Trump campaign advisor, has denied the allegations and vowed to defend her actions.
The State Department’s inspector general is reportedly investigating whether Guilfoyle received improper gifts or engaged in financial dealings that may have violated diplomatic protocols. Multiple news outlets reported that she was accused of offering access to Trump administration officials in exchange for money, gifts, and favors. These claims have led to internal scrutiny within the administration.
Guilfoyle, who was previously engaged to Trump, has faced public criticism over her conduct. The White House initially considered firing her before formally requesting her resignation. She has stated she will “vigorously defend” herself against the allegations.
This incident marks another high-profile personnel shakeup in the Trump administration. Guilfoyle’s role as ambassador to Greece placed her at the center of diplomatic relations between the U.S. And Greece. Her resignation comes amid broader scrutiny of Trump’s inner circle and the administration’s handling of ethical standards in public service.
The allegations against Guilfoyle highlight ongoing concerns about accountability and transparency in diplomatic appointments. As the investigation continues, the administration faces pressure to ensure such incidents do not recur.
