Kimberly Guilfoyle resigned Tuesday as U.S. ambassador to Greece after the White House asked her to step down amid allegations of improper conduct before and during her diplomatic tenure.
White House press secretary Katie Zacharia announced the request at a briefing, saying Guilfoyle had been “a wonderful asset to the team” and wishing her well. Guilfoyle subsequently said serving as ambassador had been “the honor of a lifetime,” but denied the allegations and vowed to defend her name, reputation and integrity.
The allegations, detailed in reports by The Wall Street Journal and summarized by several outlets, include claims that Guilfoyle asked Trump donor Eric Deters for $100,000 to cover credit-card debt while offering political access or assistance. Other reports raised questions about private-jet travel, gifts, relationships with Greek business figures and her promotion of commercial projects while in office.
Guilfoyle’s attorneys said money sought from Deters was payment for public appearances and speaking engagements completed before her nomination. They also said she obtained and followed State Department guidance for private-aircraft travel.
President Donald Trump told reporters that Guilfoyle had been doing a good job but that his administration “didn’t like what we were reading.” He said he had not spoken with her personally and confirmed that she would leave the post. Guilfoyle, a former fiancée of Donald Trump Jr., had served as ambassador since November 2025.
