White House says US ambassador to Greece Guilfoyle asked to resign
White House officials cite ethics allegations, including a reported $100,000 debt request and claims she promoted private interests in diplomatic meetings.
- On Tuesday, White House press secretary Katie Zacharia announced the administration has asked U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle to resign amid a misconduct probe. "We have asked Ambassador Guilfoyle to resign," Zacharia said at her inaugural briefing.
- State Department Inspector General investigators have been probing allegations that Guilfoyle misused her position, including bragging about luxury trips funded by Greek tycoons and promoting a Greek construction company's interests at diplomatic meetings.
- Trump donor Eric Deters accused the ambassador this month of soliciting him to pay a $100,000 American Express bill for administrative access. Text messages Deters provided appeared to show Guilfoyle instructing him to wire funds so "it won't show up anywhere."
- President Donald Trump confirmed Monday that Guilfoyle's tenure was ending, shifting from his earlier sympathetic stance when he said the situation was "too bad." Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio had defended her as facing only accusations.
- Attorneys David Schwartz and Jesse Binnall denied all impropriety in a Monday statement, asserting Guilfoyle "sought, obtained and followed State Department guidance" on travel. They contended Deters' debt claims were unfounded, which he disputes.
