Trump, Rubio weigh firing US envoy to Greece after mounting reports of improper conduct: Report
The State Department is reviewing allegations that she threatened officials, took improper gifts and sought access payments from a donor, officials said.
- President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are considering firing US Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle following reports alleging improper and possibly illegal conduct, a senior US official said on Sunday.
- The Wall Street Journal reported allegations including threats to Greek officials, improper gifts, and offering administration access to a donor in exchange for paying a $100,000 credit card bill before Guilfoyle's confirmation hearing.
- Lawyers David Schwartz and Jesse Binnall rejected the claims, asserting Guilfoyle "sought, obtained and followed State Department guidance" on travel and that the $100,000 payment was for unpaid prior public speaking services.
- Democratic lawmakers including Rep. Gregory Meeks and Sen. Jeanne Shaheen have called for an investigation, while the State Department's inspector general is reviewing allegations that first surfaced in The Journal last month.
- A senior US official reported Sunday that Trump and Rubio are "extremely pissed off" by Guilfoyle's reported conduct and will likely decide on action this week after Monday's Columbus Day holiday.
