White House asks US ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle to resign
–
Neutral summary
The White House has asked US Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle to resign amid a series of reports alleging improper and possibly illegal conduct before and during her tenure in Athens. New White House press secretary Katie Zacharia made the announcement in her first press briefing on Tuesday. President Donald Trump had previously said his administration was “looking at” firing Guilfoyle and that they were “not happy” with the situation. The Wall Street Journal reported that Guilfoyle asked a wealthy Republican donor to pay her $100,000 personal credit card bill and offered to use her influence inside the administration in return. Reports also alleged she accepted improper gifts, threatened a Greek official and created a hostile workplace at the embassy. Guilfoyle’s lawyers deny any wrongdoing and question the authenticity of published messages. It was not immediately clear whether Guilfoyle had resigned. Zacharia said Guilfoyle “has been a wonderful asset to the team, and we wish her” well. A decision on further action is expected this week.
