Kimberly Guilfoyle has resigned as the U.S. Ambassador to Greece after the White House requested her departure amid reports of improper conduct.

Kimberly Guilfoyle resigned as the United States Ambassador to Greece on Tuesday afternoon, hours after the White House publicly requested her departure. The resignation follows mounting accusations of improper and potentially illegal conduct during her tenure. President Donald Trump confirmed the administration's decision to remove her from the post, while Guilfoyle stated she intends to vigorously defend her reputation against the allegations.

Allegations and Administration Response

Reports from The Wall Street Journal alleged that Guilfoyle engaged in questionable conduct, including threatening a host country official, accepting improper gifts, and offering to use her political influence in exchange for the payment of a credit card bill. Following these reports, President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio reportedly expressed significant dissatisfaction with her actions. During a media briefing on Tuesday morning, White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia confirmed the administration had asked for the ambassador's resignation. President Trump later noted that while he had not spoken to Guilfoyle, she would no longer remain in the position.

Guilfoyle's Response

In a statement posted to her X account, Guilfoyle denied the accusations, characterizing them as false. She stated her intention to defend her name, reputation, and integrity, asserting that she would not allow the claims to define her career in public service. Her legal counsel had previously issued a statement denying the allegations late Sunday.
