WASHINGTON, October 13, 2026: The Trump administration has asked Kimberly Guilfoyle, the United States ambassador to Greece, to resign following reports alleging improper conduct before and during her diplomatic tenure.
The allegations include claims that Guilfoyle offered access to senior Trump administration officials in exchange for financial help, gifts or favors. One report alleged that she asked a Trump donor to help pay a $100,000 credit card bill. Other reports raised questions about her relationships with business interests and her treatment of embassy staff.
White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia confirmed that Guilfoyle had been asked to resign, describing her as an asset to the administration.
Guilfoyle has denied wrongdoing and said she intends to defend her reputation. Her lawyers have also disputed the allegations, saying the reported payment request related to previously unpaid professional services.
The allegations have prompted calls for further scrutiny, while the State Department’s inspector general has reportedly been examining concerns related to her conduct.
The case has drawn attention because Greece is an important NATO ally of the United States. The allegations have not, by themselves, established that Guilfoyle committed wrongdoing.
