White House asks Kimberly Guilfoyle to resign as ambassador to Greece

On 13 October 2026, the White House said Kimberly Guilfoyle had been asked to resign as U.S. ambassador to Greece after reports described allegations of improper conduct and influence-seeking. Guilfoyle submitted her resignation and denied the accusations, saying she would defend her reputation. The personnel action is established; the underlying misconduct claims remain allegations. The cited reporting did not describe a criminal conviction or a completed inspector-general finding. The episode therefore supports scrutiny of appointment and ethics practices without treating disputed allegations as proven facts.
