Kimberly Guilfoyle is a former Fox News host and ex-wife of California Governor Gavin Newsom. He was appointed Ambassador to Athens in December 2024 and was praised by Trump for his experience in law, media and politics.
US President Donald Trump announced that he is considering the dismissal of Athens Ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle.
Answering questions from members of the press at the White House following the allegations of abuse of power against Guilfoyle, Trump replied, "We are evaluating. Yes, we are not satisfied" when asked whether he was considering dismissing the ambassador. Guilfoyle is also the ex-fiancee of the US President's son, Donald Trump Jr.
According to The Wall Street Journal, Guilfoyle allegedly demanded that a donor pay a large credit card bill in exchange for access to the Trump administration.
His lawyers rejected the allegations against Guilfoyle and argued that the money in question was a receivable arising from the consultancy services provided to the donor and the events he attended as a speaker.
Guilfoyle, 57, a former Fox News host and ex-wife of California Gov. Gavin Newsom, was appointed Ambassador to Athens in December 2024, a month before Trump returns to the White House.
During his appointment, Trump said about Guilfoyle, "His extensive experience in law, media and politics, his leadership and sharp intelligence make him eminently qualified to represent the United States abroad."
In a series of text messages leaked to the press, Guilfoyle is seen demanding money from Eric Deters, a longtime supporter of Trump.
It was reported that Guilfoyle wrote in a message he sent via Signal, "If you transfer the money to your American Express account, it will not appear anywhere."
In another message the ambassador sent a few days before the confirmation hearing in the US Senate last July, it was recorded that he said, "Honey, please, I want you to handle this for me today."
While it was stated that Deters never sent the money, Guilfoyle's lawyers denied the authenticity of the messages.
In a two-page statement published on October 12, the lawyers stated that Deters owed Guilfoyle approximately $150,000 for his speeches and consulting services long before his tenure as ambassador.
"Asking a customer for money for a completed job is not corruption; it is the opposite of corruption," the statement said.
