Kimberly Guilfoyle has resigned as U.S. ambassador to Greece at the White House’s request following reports alleging that she sought money from a Republican donor in exchange for access to Trump administration officials.
White House press secretary Katie Zacharia announced the request Tuesday, saying Guilfoyle had been “a wonderful asset to the team.” President Donald Trump later said, “I didn’t like what I read.” Guilfoyle confirmed her departure on X, calling the ambassadorship “the honor of a lifetime” while denying the allegations and pledging to defend her reputation and integrity.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Guilfoyle asked donor Eric Deters in July 2025 to pay a $100,000 American Express bill shortly before her Senate confirmation hearing. According to the Journal, messages indicated that she offered to use her influence regarding his tax and legal issues. Her attorney, Jesse Binnall, has disputed the authenticity of the messages, while the Journal said it stands by its reporting. The newspaper has also reported allegations involving improper gifts, promotion of a Greek company and a threat toward a Greek official.
Deters said Thursday that he had filed a defamation lawsuit against Guilfoyle and claimed he would release a recording related to the dispute. Separately, Rep. Robert Garcia, the ranking Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, said the committee’s inquiry would continue despite her resignation and reiterated requests for financial records and communications with administration officials.
