Guilfoyle Resigns as U.S. Ambassador to Greece

The White House asked Kimberly Guilfoyle to resign as U.S. ambassador to Greece, and she submitted her resignation on Tuesday, October 13, as allegations about her conduct drew scrutiny. The reports included a disputed claim that she asked a donor to help pay a $100,000 American Express bill before her Senate confirmation hearing in 2025. Guilfoyle reportedly told White House officials that messages concerning the alleged request were generated by artificial intelligence. The account, attributed to people familiar with the matter, was that officials did not believe her explanation. The messages’ authenticity has not been independently established in the supplied reporting: Eric Deters, the donor who provided them to a newspaper, said they were legitimate, while Guilfoyle’s representatives disputed them. Guilfoyle denied wrongdoing in a statement announcing her resignation and said the allegations were false. Her representatives also argued that Deters owed her money for speaking engagements and consulting work. Deters denied owing her money and threatened to sue her and her legal team for defamation, according to one report.
