Ambassador leaves Greece after corruption allegations

Ambassador resigns from Greece due to corruption allegations The US ambassador for Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle, resigned today. President Trump had previously stated that he had asked for her resignation following corruption allegations. Guilfoyle, formerly a presenter at Fox News, was under fire for reports that she had asked a money lender to transfer $100,000 so she could pay off her personal credit card debts. This reportedly happened a few days before the congressional hearing about her nomination as ambassador. According to The Wall Street Journal, the money lender did not comply with Guilfoyle's request. The newspaper also writes that Guilfoyle, after her appointment as ambassador, would have boasted at the World Economic Forum in Davos about trips that "rich Greek businessmen" would have paid for her. According to the newspaper, she traveled to Davos in a private jet and stayed at a luxury resort in St. Moritz, Switzerland. Guilfoyle denies Guilfoyle denies the reports. She writes that the allegations are not true and that she is determined to "strongly defend" her name, reputation, and integrity. She also wrote on X that her "dedication to President Trump, the 'America First' movement, and the country I love will never end." "We asked Ambassador Guilfoyle to resign," said Katie Zacharia, the White House spokesperson today. "She has been of great value to the team and we wish her the best." Guilfoyle is the former fiancée of Donald Trump Jr., the president's son. She was appointed ambassador to Greece last year. Guilfoyle worked for Fox News for a longer time as a presenter.
