Kimberly Guilfoyle resigned as U.S. ambassador to Greece on Tuesday after the White House asked her to step down amid allegations concerning her financial dealings and conduct in office.
White House press secretary Katie Zacharia announced the request during her first briefing, saying Guilfoyle had been “a wonderful asset to the team” and wishing her well. Guilfoyle subsequently confirmed her departure in a social media statement and denied the allegations, saying she would “vigorously defend” her name, reputation and integrity.
The allegations include claims that Guilfoyle asked a Republican donor to pay a roughly $100,000 personal credit card bill without a paper trail while offering access to figures in the Trump administration. She has also faced accusations involving private travel, gifts and her treatment of embassy employees. The Daily Beast reported that the State Department inspector general had opened an inquiry. Guilfoyle, through her lawyer, has denied wrongdoing and maintained that her financial dealings were legitimate.
President Donald Trump told reporters that Guilfoyle had been doing a good job but that his administration “didn’t like what we were reading.” Asked about her former engagement to Donald Trump Jr., Trump said she “wasn’t a member of my family” and described her as someone who dated his son “a long time ago.” The pair were together from 2018 until 2024 and had been engaged.
Several congressional Democrats have called for further investigation and possible criminal prosecution despite Guilfoyle’s resignation.
