Story summary

Kimberly Guilfoyle stepped down from her position as US ambassador to Greece on October 14, 2026, amid reports of improper conduct including alleged threats to Greek officials and seeking financial assistance from a Trump donor in exchange for influence. The Wall Street Journal reported that Guilfoyle asked Eric Deters, a Trump supporter, to pay off her $100,000 American Express bill before her confirmation hearing. President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio were "extremely pissed off" by the allegations and had already decided she should resign. Democrats are using this scandal as evidence of corruption in the Trump administration ahead of the November midterm elections.
