Kimberly Guilfoyle resigns as U.S. Ambassador to Greece after White House requests her departure amid misconduct allegations.
Kimberly Guilfoyle resigned as U.S. Ambassador to Greece on Tuesday, October 14, 2026, within two hours of the White House publicly asking for her resignation. The resignation followed a series of Wall Street Journal reports alleging she sought $100,000 from Trump donor Eric Deters to pay a personal American Express bill in exchange for administration access, accepted improper gifts, and threatened Greek officials. Guilfoyle denied the allegations, pledging to 'vigorously defend' her name, while the State Department's inspector general was reported to be examining the claims.

The split, in one line
Most outlets treat this as a straightforward misconduct resignation; the NY Post focuses on Guilfoyle's pardon hopes keeping her silent, while the Washington Examiner emphasizes Democrats' corruption messaging heading into midterms, and Reuters headlines it as Trump firing her rather than accepting a resignation.
