Kimberly Guilfoyle, U.S. Ambassador to Greece, has been asked to resign from her post following allegations of misconduct. The White House confirmed the request through press secretary Katie Zacharia, who stated that Guilfoyle faced severe criticism over improper and possibly illegal conduct.
The allegations include claims that Guilfoyle asked a Trump donor to pay a $100,000 credit card bill in exchange for access to administration officials. The Wall Street Journal reported the incident last week, revealing that the request was part of a broader pattern of behavior.
Guilfoyle, a former Fox News personality and top Trump campaign surrogate, has been under scrutiny for her actions both before and during her tenure in Athens. The White House has not provided further details on the nature of the misconduct, but the request for her resignation signals a significant shift in her role.
This is not the first time Guilfoyle has faced controversy. She was previously involved in political campaigns and has been a vocal supporter of former President Donald Trump. The situation highlights ongoing tensions within the administration and raises questions about the conduct of high-ranking officials.
The White House has not commented further on the implications of her resignation, but the move underscores the administration’s stance on accountability. As the situation develops, further details may emerge regarding the full extent of the allegations and their impact on diplomatic relations.
