(Updated) Kimberly Guilfoyle Has Resigned As Ambassador to Greece
Red State ^ | October 13, 2026 | Teri Christoph

Katie Zacharia made her debut as White House Press Secretary Tuesday morning, and she dropped a blockbuster of an announcement during her first briefing: Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle has been asked to resign.

Zacharia made the revelation in response to a question about remarks made by President Trump on Monday that he was considering firing Guilfoyle, saying that the ambassador "has been a wonderful asset to the team, and we wish her well."

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump has asked Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle to RESIGN, @KatieZacharia announced "She has been a wonderful asset to the team, and we wish her well." WOW. https://t.co/sdw6Rua637

As RedState reported Monday, President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio were said to be "extremely pissed off" over allegations that Guilfoyle has asked Trump donor Eric Deters to pay her $100,000 American Express bill shortly before her confirmation hearing.

Other allegations against her quickly started to pile up, including a possible "pay to play" scheme with Greek construction and energy company Aktor Group and accusations that Guilfoyle had fostered a toxic work environment at the American embassy in Athens.

Much of the drama seemed to escalate last week during Rubio's visit to Greece for the latest round of the U.S.-Greece Strategic Dialogue. As we noted in our Monday reporting, Guilfoyle was seen warmly greeting Rubio as he arrived in the island nation, but was firmly on the sidelines just days later at his official departure ceremony.

A bit of a grifting opportunist. Does not surprise me that anyone who can go from sleeping with Gavin Newsom to sleeping with Donald Trump Jr would be very skilled in getting a guy to pay off her 6 figure credit card debt.

I remember her from her days on The Five when she looked normal and seemed intelligent.

Bad move. It just encourages the Left, who smell blood in the water. Never admit to anything, never compromise. Fight, fight, fight.

I believe she was gifted the ambassadorship as a gesture by the administration for not bad mouthing anyone in the administration.

Or... she was offered the Greece assignment to get her as far away from Don Jr. as possible.

No diplomatic relations with North Korea yet so maybe offer her an ambassadorship to Tuvalu, just to show there are no hard feelings.
