Kimberly Guilfoyle said Tuesday that she would resign as U.S. ambassador to Greece after the White House asked her to leave amid allegations involving a Republican donor and her conduct in office.
“We have asked Ambassador Guilfoyle to resign,” White House press secretary Katie Zacharia said, calling her “a wonderful asset to the team.” President Donald Trump later told reporters, “She will not be there. I didn’t like what I read.”
The Wall Street Journal reported that Guilfoyle asked Trump donor Eric Deters in July 2025 to provide $100,000 to pay an American Express bill shortly before her Senate confirmation hearing. The Journal, citing messages, reported that she offered to help Deters obtain access to administration officials regarding his tax and legal issues. Deters characterized the request as a quid pro quo.
The Journal also reported allegations that Guilfoyle accepted improper gifts and services, promoted a Greek company during official engagements and threatened a host-country official. Her attorney has disputed the authenticity of the reported messages, and Guilfoyle broadly denied the allegations.
“These allegations are false, and I intend to vigorously defend my name, my reputation, and my integrity,” Guilfoyle wrote on X, while describing her ambassadorship as “the honor of a lifetime.”
Rep. Robert Garcia, the ranking Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, said Wednesday that his inquiry would continue after her resignation. He is seeking Guilfoyle’s financial records and communications with senior administration officials.
