Story summary

Kimberly Guilfoyle, the US ambassador to Greece, is facing potential dismissal by President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio after a series of reports alleging improper conduct in Athens. A senior US official reported that Trump and Rubio are "extremely pissed off" about Guilfoyle's alleged actions, including threats to host country officials, accepting improper gifts, offering influence for personal benefits, and seeking financial assistance from a Trump donor before her confirmation hearing.

The controversy began when The Wall Street Journal published stories detailing Guilfoyle’s misconduct. Reports include an allegation that she asked Trump donor Eric Deters to pay off a $100,000 American Express bill shortly before her Senate confirmation hearing in exchange for access to administration officials. Despite these allegations, Guilfoyle's lawyer has denied any wrongdoing.

Top Democrats like Representative Gregory Meeks and Senator Jeanne Shaheen have called for an investigation into the claims against Guilfoyle. Rubio was reportedly especially angered by Guilfoyle’s conduct during his recent visit to Athens where she greeted him warmly despite swirling allegations.

President Trump confirmed he is considering firing Guilfoyle, stating "we’re not happy," reflecting growing pressure on her position amid mounting scrutiny and internal dissatisfaction within the administration.
