Story summary

Kimberly Guilfoyle resigned from her position as US ambassador to Greece on October 14, 2026, amid allegations of financial impropriety and misconduct. The controversy emerged when the Wall Street Journal reported that Guilfoyle asked a Trump donor to pay off a $100,000 American Express bill in exchange for access to senior administration officials before her confirmation hearing. Reports also alleged she promoted Greek construction firms and bragged about luxury trips paid for by businessmen. President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio were "extremely pissed off" by the reports, leading them to consider firing Guilfoyle; however, a senior US official confirmed that Guilfoyle had already been asked to resign before she formally stepped down. The State Department's Office of Inspector General is investigating these allegations.
