Trump says he's "looking at" firing Kimberly Guilfoyle

President Trump has indicated his administration is considering removing Kimberly Guilfoyle from her role as U.S. ambassador to Greece, following allegations that she requested a $100,000 wire transfer from one of her associates in exchange for her assistance with the Trump administration ahead of her Senate confirmation hearing.

Trump, speaking to reporters while en route to Ohio, confirmed that his administration is "looking at it" and expressed dissatisfaction with the situation. Eric Deters, a businessman who has had contact with Guilfoyle, told CBS News that he is "100% certain" the requests for money were part of a "pay-to-play" scheme. Deters shared screenshots of his texts with Guilfoyle, including an exchange where she allegedly asked him to wire funds. Deters stated that he never provided her with the money.

However, Guilfoyle's legal representative has contested the validity of the texts, as reported by The Wall Street Journal, the original outlet to reveal the allegations. Guilfoyle, nominated by Trump to serve as his top envoy to Greece, was confirmed to the position in September 2025 after her confirmation hearing in July of that year. She gained considerable attention during Secretary of State Marco Rubio's visit to Greece last week.
