Guilfoyle accused of seeking $100K credit card bailout from donor

Key Points:

• U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle faces potential dismissal following reports she sought a six-figure credit card bailout from a Trump donor while offering access to administration officials, raising concerns about her conduct in Athens.
• President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are reportedly upset by Guilfoyle’s actions and are considering her removal, with a decision expected after the Columbus Day holiday.
• Allegations include Guilfoyle asking Trump donor Eric Deters to pay off a $100,000 American Express bill without leaving a paper trail and promoting the interests of a Greek company, leading to an ongoing State Department inspector general investigation.
• Reports describe a hostile workplace environment under Guilfoyle, including threats to fire employees and demotions over minor issues, while congressional Democrats call for a review and possible removal if allegations are confirmed.
• Guilfoyle, a former Fox News personality and ex-fiancée of Donald Trump Jr., was nominated as ambassador in December 2024, and both Rubio and Vice President JD Vance have urged caution pending the outcome of investigations.
