tenure → oust → circumstances
But the firestorm of accusations against Guilfoyle, 57, that led to the Trump administration calling for her resignation this week means any ceremonial send-off or cozy backslapping with Greek President Konstantinos Tasoulas is now firmly off the table, the Daily Mail has been told.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who visited Athens last week, called her 'a strong ambassador,' but said he didn't know whether the allegations were true.
Ahead of his trip, Guilfoyle had asked State Department officials if they could get the Daily Mail's exclusive report detailing an unpaid €1,586 ($1,778) dinner tab deleted, the Journal reported.
But when State Department officials requested a receipt to prove that she paid the bill, she did not provide one, according to the Journal.
