  "account": "The White House announced on Tuesday that US President Donald Trump's administration has requested that Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle resign, citing allegations of bribery and excessive hospitality from wealthy Greek businessmen. According to The Wall Street Journal, Guilfoyle sought a payment of US$100,000 from influential Trump supporter Eric Deters shortly before her Senate confirmation hearing in July 2025. Despite Deters' refusal, alleging the payment would cost him his marriage, the Journal reported that Guilfoyle boasted about luxury trips funded by wealthy Greek businessmen, including a private jet trip to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, and a stay at a luxury Paris hotel courtesy of Greek shipping magnate Nikolas Tsakos. The state department's inspector general is investigating whether Guilfoyle received improper gifts.",
  "summary": "The announcement came a day after the US president acknowledged he was considering dismissing Kimberly Guilfoyle.",
