White House Asked Kimberly Guilfoyle to Resign

The White House asked Kimberly Guilfoyle to resign as U.S. ambassador to Greece on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, amid allegations of misconduct during her tenure. Guilfoyle has denied the allegations, calling them false and saying she would defend her name and reputation while remaining loyal to President Donald Trump. The White House confirmation was reported as Guilfoyle’s diplomatic departure became the focus of competing claims about her conduct and the possible consequences of her exit. The sources do not provide findings from an investigation or establish that the allegations are true. One disputed issue concerns a $100,000 request to Republican donor Eric Deters. Deters alleged Guilfoyle sought payment in exchange for access to senior administration officials and help with legal and tax matters. Her attorneys said the money was unpaid compensation for appearances and speaking engagements that took place before her nomination. The reported amount was not paid, according to the accounts provided. A separate report, based on anonymous sources, said the State Department inspector general had opened a probe into Guilfoyle and the U.S. diplomatic mission in Greece.
