Ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle has been asked to resign from her position as the US ambassador to Greece, reportedly due to a series of scandals involving alleged quid pro quo arrangements. Katie Zacharia, the new Trump press secretary, made the announcement on Tuesday, stating, "We have asked Ambassador Guilfoyle to resign. She has been a wonderful asset to the team, and we wish her well."
The source of these allegations emerged from an interview with Eric Deters, a Republican donor, who claimed that Guilfoyle pressured him to contribute $100,000 to her in exchange for political favors. These favors included meetings with senior Trump administration officials, introductions to influential figures like Kid Rock, and assistance with personal tax and legal issues.
However, Deters never provided the $100,000 and claimed he was promised $150,000 in return for his cooperation. Deters subsequently threatened to sue Guilfoyle and her legal team over what he alleged were false claims made by them. Guilfoyle, a former Fox News host and ex-fiancée of Donald Trump Jr., has faced scrutiny from Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-N.Y.) who announced an investigation into her actions. If she resigns, her tenure will have lasted only 11 months.
