Story summary

Donald Trump is considering firing Kimberly Guilfoyle, the US Ambassador to Greece, following reports of her alleged misconduct. The controversy began when The Wall Street Journal published stories alleging that Guilfoyle had accepted improper gifts, threatened a host country official, and asked a Trump donor to pay off a $100,000 credit card bill in exchange for political access. A senior US official told the AP that both President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are "extremely pissed off" by Guilfoyle's behavior and may decide on firing her this week after Columbus Day. The ambassador reportedly attended luxury events despite being instructed to behave properly following confirmation as Ambassador in late 2024, including sipping drinks on a Greek island and attending Paris Fashion Week shortly thereafter.
