Kimberly Guilfoyle has resigned as the U.S. Ambassador to Greece after being asked to step down by the White House. The resignation follows reports that Guilfoyle allegedly solicited $100,000 from donor Eric Deters to pay her credit card debt in exchange for administration access, and accusations of inappropriate behavior regarding Greek business interests and diplomatic conduct. While Guilfoyle denies the allegations as false and claims the money requested was for previously owed consulting fees, President Trump and White House officials confirmed they requested her resignation due to the controversy. Investigations by the State Department's Office of Inspector General are reportedly underway.
