Guilfoyle, who served as the U.S. ambassador to Greece, is facing accusations of financial impropriety, which she denies.</p><p>LaCorte expressed his concerns on social media, noting that Fox News had not reported on the allegations, with the last mention of Guilfoyle being from December 10, 2024, when her nomination was announced. He highlighted that the Wall Street Journal, a sister publication of Fox, had reported on the allegations against Guilfoyle, including claims that she solicited $100,000 from donor Eric Deters without proper documentation.</p><p>LaCorte stated that Fox's lack of coverage was a conscious decision to ignore a significant story that has been reported by various news outlets globally. He warned that this could damage the network's credibility among its audience.</p><p>According to reports, Guilfoyle allegedly sought the payment while offering access to senior figures in the Trump administration. LaCorte mentioned that if the allegations are true, they could lead to criminal prosecution for Guilfoyle, although her attorney has disputed the authenticity of the messages.</p><p>LaCorte suggested that the reluctance to cover the scandal might stem from fear within the network's management rather than a directive from senior executives. His comments came as President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio were reportedly considering Guilfoyle's termination due to the allegations.</p><p>As the situation developed, Fox News eventually published a report detailing the allegations and the potential for Guilfoyle's dismissal. LaCorte acknowledged this coverage on social media, noting the timing of Fox's report.</p><p>Fox News and a representative for Guilfoyle have been contacted for comments.</p>
