  "account": "On October 13, 2026, the White House's newly appointed press secretary, Katie Zacharia, surprised reporters during her first briefing by announcing that President Donald Trump had asked Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle to resign. This decision came as a result of the growing negative press surrounding her, including allegations that she had pressured a political donor to cover a personal American Express bill of $100,000. Despite her past as a major figure in the MAGA Movement and her engagement to Trump Jr., Guilfoyle had also been known for her lavish lifestyle and partying in Athens. In a concise debut, Zacharia stated, \"We have asked Ambassador Guilfoyle to resign. She has been a wonderful asset to the team and we wish her well.\"",
