Trump ousts Kimberly Guilfoyle as US ambassador to Greece after corruption allegations

Kimberly Guilfoyle has resigned as the U.S. Ambassador to Greece following a formal request from the White House. The resignation comes amid allegations first reported by The Wall Street Journal involving 'pay-to-play' solicitation and improper conduct. Specifically, reports allege Guilfoyle asked donor Eric Deters for $100,000 to cover credit card debt prior to her confirmation in exchange for administration access. Additional allegations involve claims of boasting about Greek tycoons funding her travel and making undiplomatic remarks regarding foreign governments. While President Trump initially expressed displeasure with the reports, Guilfoyle has denied all wrongdoing and vowed to defend her reputation.
