Former Fox News personality Kimberly Guilfoyle, once the US Ambassador to Greece and the ex-fiancée of Donald Trump Jr., has resigned from her position amid serious corruption allegations. Her departure occurred just six days after a Wall Street Journal report detailed her attempts to solicit funds from a Trump donor, including $100,000 to pay off a credit card bill, in exchange for access to Trump officials and conservative media figures.
Guilfoyle attempted to cover up these efforts, even in text messages to the donor, she wrote, "What a nightmare you’ll literally cost me my ambassadorship stop writing." Trump, now out of a job, clarified to reporters on Tuesday that Guilfoyle was not a member of his family, explaining that their relationship had ended years ago.
Her resignation is seen as a significant blow to the Trump administration, as Guilfoyle's actions were perceived as an embarrassing breach of ethical standards, even by the administration's typically lenient corruption tolerance.
