Trump fires ambassador to Greece Guilfoyle after reports of misconduct
Stories in the Wall Street Journal included claims Kimberly Guilfoyle threatened to use U.S. influence to undermine the Greek government.
U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle was dismissed by the White House following reports alleging misconduct, according to the White House. The reports raised concerns that Guilfoyle allegedly sold access to Trump administration officials in exchange for money, gifts and favors. Trump expressed his consideration to fire Guilfoyle, who was once engaged to his son Donald Trump Jr., stating on Monday that he was "considering firing her."
He later clarified on Tuesday, saying, "She was doing a good job, but we didn't like what we were reading." Lawmakers had raised alarms after a series of articles in the Wall Street Journal over the past month detailed Guilfoyle's conduct, including allegations that she threatened to use U.S. influence to undermine the Greek government.
