President Trump is considering firing U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle due to allegations of misconduct including pressuring a donor for money, accepting improper gifts, and threatening a Greek official. The president told reporters, “We’re looking at it,” adding, “We’re not happy.” Secretary of State Marco Rubio was reportedly upset over the accusations but defended Guilfoye before more details emerged. Through her attorneys, Guilfoyle denies any wrongdoing, claiming that requests to donors were for services rendered and that she followed state department regulations regarding travel on private jets.

Story summary
Donald Trump and Marco Rubio, the US Secretary of State, are considering firing Kimberly Guilfoyle, the US Ambassador to Greece, following reports of improper conduct. These allegations include promoting a Greek construction firm, accepting luxury gifts from businessmen, threatening a host country official, and asking a Trump donor to pay off her $100,000 credit card bill in exchange for access to administration officials. The Wall Street Journal first reported these incidents last week. Rubio was particularly upset as Guilfoyle attended most of his events during his recent visit to Athens and greeted him warmly despite the mounting allegations.
A senior US official told AP that Trump and Rubio are "extremely pissed off" by Guilfoyle's actions and will likely decide on her fate this week after Columbus Day. Top Democrats, including Rep. Gregory Meeks of New York and Sen. Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, have called for an investigation into the ambassador’s conduct. Guilfoyle has denied wrongdoing through her lawyers but did not address specific allegations directly.
The controversy has prompted the State Department's Office of Inspector General to begin looking into the claims against Guilfoyle.
