White House: Ambassador to Greece Guilfoyle is asked to resign after allegations of improper conduct

The U.S. ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle, has been asked to resign after facing severe criticism over allegations of improper and possibly illegal conduct during her tenure in Athens. Trump appointee Guilfoyle has not directly addressed the reports, but her lawyers have denied any wrongdoing and claimed that the money she was seeking was not improper.

The decision to ask for her resignation comes after President Donald Trump expressed unhappiness with reports about her conduct, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio is said to be "extremely pissed off" by the allegations.
