Kimberly Guilfoyle leaves post as U.S. ambassador to Greece after White House asks her to resign
Photo: NBC NewsKimberly Guilfoyle is out as U.S. ambassador to Greece, announcing her resignation Tuesday after White House press secretary Katie Zacharia said at her debut briefing that she had been asked to step down. The move followed reports that Guilfoyle sought payment or help with personal debt from a Trump donor, reportedly about $100,000 in credit card debt, in exchange for access to officials. Outlets differ on emphasis: some describe it as an ouster over corruption or misconduct allegations, one notes a State Department inspector general review, and one reports a likely Senate probe. Zacharia called her a valuable team member, and a Republican senator praised the administration's response.
