Trump Says He Is ‘Looking at’ Firing Kimberly Guilfoyle Over Improper Conduct Allegations
President Donald Trump confirmed that his administration is actively considering removing U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle from her diplomatic post following mounting allegations of ethics violations and improper personal conduct.
Speaking to reporters, Trump addressed the controversy directly, stating, “Well, we’re looking at it,” before adding, “We’re not happy”. The comments signal increasing frustration inside the White House and the State Department, where Secretary of State Marco Rubio has also reportedly weighed disciplinary measures or outright dismissal.
CBS NewsThe scrutiny centers on several recent reports, including detailed investigations by The Wall Street Journal and the Associated Press regarding alleged quid-pro-quo solicitations, unauthorized travel perks, and improper luxury gifts from Greek business figures. Most notably, text messages surfaced detailing a request where Guilfoyle reportedly asked a donor for $100,000 to cover personal credit card debts in exchange for high-level administration access.
MediaiteGuilfoyle, a former television host and political advisor who was previously engaged to Donald Trump Jr., took over the Athens ambassadorship earlier in the term. Her conduct drew internal backlash during Rubio’s recent diplomatic tour in Greece, where her high-profile presence clashed with circulating reports of informal inquiries by the State Department’s inspector general. Trump’s remarks indicate that a final decision on her diplomatic future could come swiftly as pressure builds within the administration.
