President Donald Trump is considering dismissing Kimberly Guilfoyle as U.S. ambassador to Greece, according to a person familiar with the matter cited by CNN. Fox News, citing an Associated Press report based on a senior U.S. official, said Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio were weighing her removal and that a decision was likely this week.
The reports concern allegations that Guilfoyle accepted expensive gifts while serving as ambassador and sought money in return for access to administration officials before her confirmation. Fox News also reported allegations that she sought a six-figure credit-card bailout from a Trump donor. Sen. John Barrasso said Sunday that he expected Guilfoyle to be investigated following reports alleging ethics violations. No decision to remove her was reported in the excerpts.
