Kimberly Guilfoyle removed as US ambassador to Greece following allegations

Kimberly Guilfoyle was removed from her position as the United States Ambassador to Greece on October 13, 2026, following a series of reports regarding her conduct. The decision was confirmed by the White House after investigative reporting by the Wall Street Journal and the Daily Mail raised questions about her use of private jets, acceptance of gifts, and alleged requests for money, including a reported solicitation of $100,000 from a Donald Trump donor before her confirmation.

Before her departure, reports surfaced that Guilfoyle attempted to suppress online coverage of her lifestyle, specifically asking State Department officials to have the Daily Mail remove stories regarding an unpaid restaurant bill. Sources indicate the bill was ultimately charged to the embassy. Following her exit, further allegations have emerged from Jonathan Constantin of Republicans Overseas, involving claims of suspicious financial transactions and links to Chinese and Iranian interests through associates like Christos Marafatsos. These claims are currently being scrutinized in a growing file of thousands of pages.

Despite the mounting pressure and public distancing by President Donald Trump, who referenced her past relationship with his son, Guilfoyle denied all allegations of wrongdoing. The swift removal process took place within two days, even as she maintained official duties, such as receiving Secretary of State Marco Rubio, shortly before her resignation was finalized.
