The White House has asked Kimberly Guilfoyle to resign as U.S. ambassador to Greece amid mounting allegations involving her financial dealings, treatment of embassy staff and relationships with foreign business interests.
"We have asked Ambassador Guilfoyle to resign. She has been a wonderful asset to the team, and we wish her well," White House press secretary Katie Zacharia announced Tuesday during her first-ever briefing to the press.
It is not clear whether Guilfoyle lodged her official resignation, and when asked for clarity, the White House referred Fox News Digital to the remarks from the briefing.
The update from Zacharia came just one day after President Donald Trump publicly acknowledged that he was considering firing Guilfoyle, who was previously engaged to his eldest son, Donald Trump Jr.
"Well, we're looking at it," Trump told reporters Monday when asked whether he was considering removing Guilfoyle. "We're not happy."
Guilfoyle came under scrutiny last week after The Wall Street Journal reported that she asked Trump donor Eric Deters to pay off a $100,000 American Express bill shortly before her Senate confirmation hearing in July 2025.
According to messages reviewed by the Journal, Guilfoyle urged Deters to wire the money directly to American Express, saying the transaction would not leave a paper trail, while offering to help him gain access to senior Trump administration officials. Deters said he never made the payment.
Guilfoyle's attorney, Jesse Binnall, disputed the authenticity of the messages, saying Guilfoyle had been paid to speak at events before her nomination and "was owed a balance for traveling to and supporting these patriotic events."
The allegations followed an earlier Journal investigation into Guilfoyle's conduct in Greece, including claims that she promoted the interests of Greek construction and energy company Aktor Group ...

Kimberly might know some stuff. She should be glad these aren’t the clintoons making the request. She could get Ron Brown treatment.
wow, losing a gig in Greece. that would be devastating for someone like me.
that’s luxury there, have you been to the white sandy beach, eating a fresh kalamari sandwich, staring into the clear mediterranean sea?
Greek men are saddened
“We have asked Ambassador Guilfoyle to resign”
Don Jr. had better lay low for a while. Maybe ask HB for some tips. The breakup story, and the payoff, aren’t going to be pretty.
Grandma always used to say, “Lie down with dogs, get up with fleas”. She was smart.
Kim, you had one job to do, in one of the most beautiful regions of the world, but you just got too greedy.
I hope you’re not expecting a promotion.
Maybe it’s better that you ‘spend more time with your family”.
I’m sorry - *ASKED* her to resign?
Does the You’re Fired button no longer work?
Well, reimbursement for business expenses is legit and there should be receipts. Did she have any agreement with this man for such?
Anything else seems bizarre.
Ambassador Lips was married to Gavin Newscum for 5 years. That should have been a major red flag right there.
I had thought rather better of Kimberly Guilfoyle all this time, but she is a very flamboyant personality, and therefore not entirely predictable.
But she should remain herself, and enjoy her roller-coaster passage through life.
Come on, the interest on an AmEx card is sky high!
How the heck is somebody going to survive next month if that $100k balance is not paid off for this month?
Greece is nice...if you are a tourist with money.
The greek people are nice but lost. They hate their government (dont we all) and they have no real identity (Greece was not even a nation, just a bunch of tribes, until post WWII.) They dont have any major industry, so they rely heavily on tourism to survive today.
But its a beautiful place.
You gotta be a special kind of stupid to lose and ambassadorship to Greece. Not really a hot bed of political chaos. Geez.
IF anyone knows Trump or Rubio....I am available immediately for that position!
I might take it for free lodging and dining expenses...!!!

Leaked communications: Text messages surfaced showing her hostile reactions to Don Jr.’s dating life and her attempts to hide her drinking habits from him prior to the split.
Oct 10th.
She was an alcoholic and my take is she was given Greece ambassadorship as a deal when she broke up with Don Jr.
quote:
“For months, she had been chatting with Eric Deters, a former congressional candidate in Kentucky who was seeking her help in getting the attention of the new Trump admin on some personal tax and legal issues and had promised payments of as much as $1 million if she was successful,” the WSJ reported.
Not one of DJT’s more stellar appointments..
A lot of these ambassadorships seem to be just a dole out of party favors.
Does Guilfoyle actually speak and read Greek?
Trump has one weak spot.
Hot women who think they understand politics.
Kimberly Guilfoyle resigned on Tuesday..
