Story summary

Kimberly Guilfoyle, the US Ambassador to Greece, is facing potential dismissal by President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio due to mounting allegations of improper conduct. Reports by The Wall Street Journal suggest that Guilfoyle asked a Trump donor to pay off a $100,000 American Express bill in exchange for political favors and accepted gifts and services improperly. Additionally, she allegedly threatened a Greek official during her tenure. A senior US official told the AP on Sunday that Trump and Rubio are “extremely pissed off” by Guilfoyle’s conduct and will decide on future action after Columbus Day. Democrats from both houses of Congress have called for an investigation into these allegations.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
