Kimberly Guilfoyle Resigns as U.S. Ambassador to Greece Amid Allegations

Kimberly Guilfoyle has stepped down from her position as U.S. ambassador to Greece amid allegations of improper conduct. She announced her resignation on Tuesday, denying the claims and expressing her intention to defend her reputation.

During her resignation announcement, Guilfoyle thanked President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio for the opportunity to serve. The White House, represented by new press secretary Katie Zacharia, confirmed that Guilfoyle was asked to resign, noting her contributions to the team.

Reports indicate that Guilfoyle requested a Trump donor to pay off a $100,000 credit card bill prior to her Senate confirmation. This request was allegedly made in exchange for access to administration officials. Guilfoyle's lawyer has disputed the authenticity of text messages related to this claim. Following the report, Trump mentioned he was considering Guilfoyle's termination.
