US Ambassador to Athens Kimberly Guilfoyle Could Be Dismissed

US President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are weighing the possibility of dismissing US Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle following allegations of inappropriate and potentially illegal behavior.

Dismissal Consideration

US President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have discussed whether US Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle should remain in her position.

A senior US official stated that the administration is deeply troubled by the allegations surrounding Guilfoyle and that a decision is expected this week.

Details of the Allegations

Reports published in the Wall Street Journal alleged that Ambassador Guilfoyle engaged in controversial actions before and during her assignment in Athens.

The allegations include threats directed at a host country official, the acceptance of inappropriate gifts and services, and offers to use her influence within the administration in exchange for the payment of credit card debt.

Investigation Process

A second US official stated that the State Department's watchdog is examining the mounting allegations, which surfaced in the press late last month.

While Guilfoyle did not issue a direct statement, her lawyer argued that she did not commit any wrongdoing, and the US embassy in Athens expressed support for her.
