U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle said she would resign shortly after new White House press secretary Katie Zacharia said the White House had asked her to leave the post. Guilfoyle denied “recent allegations,” which appear to refer to critical Wall Street Journal articles about her conduct before and after becoming ambassador, and vowed to defend her name. President Trump said she “was doing a good job, but we didn’t like what we were reading.” According to the Journal, a Sept. 25 article alleged she promoted a Greek company, and an Oct. 7 report said she asked Trump donor Eric Deters in July 2025 to wire $100,000 to pay down her American Express bill before her ambassador confirmation hearing. Her attorney, Jesse Binnall, said she had been paid for speaking events and disputed the authenticity of messages in the report without giving specifics.
