President Trump said he is “looking at” firing Kimberly Guilfoyle and that he “is not happy” with his ambassador to Greece

9 sources →

President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are reportedly considering firing Kimberly Guilfoyle from her post as U.S. Ambassador to Greece. The potential dismissal follows a series of reports in the Wall Street Journal and other outlets alleging misconduct, including soliciting a $100,000 credit card bailout from a donor in exchange for political access, promoting specific business interests, and creating a hostile work environment at the embassy. Trump stated on Monday that he is 'not happy' and is 'looking at' the situation. The State Department's Office of Inspector General is reportedly investigating the claims, which Guilfoyle and her attorneys have denied.
