White House says it asked Kimberly Guilfoyle to resign
White House press secretary Katie Zacharia said Tuesday morning that the White House had asked Kimberly Guilfoyle, the U.S. ambassador to Greece, to resign.
The White House has asked Kimberly Guilfoyle, the U.S. ambassador to Greece, to resign, White House press secretary Katie Zacharia said during a press briefing Tuesday morning.
Guilfoyle announced in a social media post that her time in the position was coming to an end. The post did not make clear whether she had resigned or been fired.
The announcement follows an allegation that Guilfoyle offered a donor to President Donald Trump access to top administration officials in exchange for cash. That alleged exchange concerns money for access to administration officials.
Eric Deters, a Trump donor and former lawyer, alleged that Guilfoyle asked him to pay her $100,000 credit card bill in July 2025, days before her Senate confirmation hearing. He provided messages he said he had exchanged with her about the request.
Guilfoyle called the allegations false and said she intended to vigorously defend her name, reputation and integrity. She also said she would not allow false accusations to define her decades of public service.
