White House says US ambassador to Greece Guilfoyle asked to resign

The request follows reports that she sought a $100,000 credit card payment from a donor in exchange for access, and lawmakers urged an investigation.

  • White House press secretary Katie Zacharia announced on Tuesday that the administration has requested U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle's resignation amid allegations of misconduct.
  • Reports alleged Guilfoyle solicited $100,000 from donor Eric Deters to settle personal credit card debt in exchange for political access before her 2025 Senate confirmation hearing.
  • Guilfoyle's attorneys rejected allegations, stating she "sought, obtained and followed State Department guidance and followed the Department's travel regulations." The State Department's inspector general is investigating her conduct.
  • President Donald Trump signaled dissatisfaction on Monday, telling reporters "we're not happy" when asked about her future, though it remains unclear if Guilfoyle has formally agreed to step down.
  • Congressional Democrats, including Rep. Gregory Meeks and Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, are demanding a full review of documents related to the alleged donor payments to ensure accountability.
