Kimberly Guilfoyle resigned Tuesday as U.S. ambassador to Greece after President Donald Trump asked her to step down following reports about her financial dealings and alleged efforts to obtain money from a political donor.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Guilfoyle asked former Republican congressional candidate Eric Deters for $100,000 to pay an American Express bill before her Senate confirmation hearing. According to The Indian Express, Deters did not provide the money. Guilfoyle has called the allegations false, and her lawyer has disputed the authenticity of text messages cited in the reporting.
The Journal also reported that Guilfoyle promoted Greek construction company Aktor Group as a potential supplier of U.S.-produced natural gas and that a lobbyist for the company frequently attended meetings with her. The Washington Post reported that Secretary of State Marco Rubio reminded diplomats after her dismissal to avoid conflicts of interest.
Trump told reporters that Guilfoyle had been doing a good job but that his administration “didn’t like what we were reading.” Guilfoyle, who was previously engaged to Donald Trump Jr., said her gratitude and respect for Trump and Rubio remained “unwavering” and that she would defend her name, reputation and integrity.
Sen. John Curtis, a Utah Republican, commended the administration for taking the allegations seriously, writing that “public service is a public trust.”
