President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are considering the dismissal of U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle following reports of improper and potentially illegal conduct both before and during her time in Athens. A senior U.S. official told The Guardian US that the president and secretary of state are "extremely pissed off" by the reported behavior, noting that a decision regarding her status would likely be made this week.
CBS News reports that GOP Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso characterized the allegations as "very troubling," specifically citing reports that Guilfoyle allegedly asked Eric Deters to pay $100,000 of her debts to assist with her confirmation. Barrasso stated that the situation is concerning and that an investigation is expected to occur.
