Kimberly Guilfoyle removed as U.S. Ambassador to Greece

Kimberly Guilfoyle has been removed from her position as the United States Ambassador to Greece following a series of corruption allegations and reports regarding her conduct. The decision was confirmed by the White House after Daily Mail journalist Elina Shirazi questioned the administration, prompting a public acknowledgment that Guilfoyle had been asked to resign. According to reports, the decision to remove her was made rapidly over a two-day period.

The allegations against Guilfoyle include requests for a $100,000 payment from a Trump supporter, the use of private jets, and the acceptance of unauthorized gifts. Furthermore, it was reported that she pressured State Department officials to have the Daily Mail remove a story concerning an unpaid restaurant bill, which was ultimately charged directly to the U.S. embassy. Despite these mounting scandals, she allegedly attempted to salvage her position by contacting Trump administration officials.

Reports indicate that Guilfoyle likely anticipated her departure even while hosting U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Greece. President Donald Trump has since publicly distanced himself from the former ambassador, referencing her past personal association with his son. The investigation into her conduct remains a focal point, with questions persisting regarding her successor and the full extent of the reported improprieties.
