U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle is set to resign after the White House requested her departure following allegations of financial misconduct. Sources revealed that Guilfoyle asked an associate, Eric Deters, for $100,000 to cover her American Express bill before her Senate confirmation hearing, intending to keep it off her financial disclosures. The White House confirmed the request for her resignation, citing her as a valuable team member. Despite her initial reluctance, Guilfoyle has few allies left in the Trump administration, and President Trump expressed dissatisfaction with her. The controversy arose from text messages between Guilfoyle and Deters, which were verified as authentic. Deters claimed he sought Guilfoyle’s help for access to Trump officials but did not provide the funds. Guilfoyle was confirmed as ambassador in September 2025, and reports also surfaced about her connections with Greek tycoons funding her luxury travel.
