White House Ousts Kimberly Guilfoyle as US Ambassador to Greece Amid Corruption Allegations

Kimberly Guilfoyle has been ousted from her role as the U.S. ambassador to Greece by the White House, with her resignation formally requested on October 13, 2026. This development follows a series of corruption allegations and reports of improper conduct during her tenure.

Reports indicated that Guilfoyle allegedly sought a $100,000 payment from a Trump donor to cover a credit card bill, reportedly in exchange for access to administration officials. Other accusations include promoting private business interests and threatening a Greek official. President Donald Trump expressed dissatisfaction with the unfolding situation, which led to the White House asking for her resignation.

Guilfoyle, who was nominated in December 2024 and confirmed as ambassador in September 2025, has denied all allegations against her. She stated her intention to "vigorously defend" her reputation amidst the claims.
