The US ambassador pressured donors to transfer money - risks being fired

According to AP's sources, US President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are considering firing the country's ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle, after several reports that she behaved inappropriately and possibly illegally, among other things.

The reports initially stem from an investigation by the Wall Street Journal that details several events both before and during Guilfoyle's time in Athens.

According to a senior US source, Trump and Rubio are "extremely pissed off" by Guilfoyle's reported actions, the AP reported on Sunday.

One of the incidents concerns a dinner where Guilfoyle was not on the guest list. The event was hosted by Greek House Devos along with her ex-husband Donald Trump Jr. She then allegedly became upset, something that was caught on film.

- There is no way not to invite the US ambassador to Greece. She should lick my ass, she allegedly said of the event's organizer, according to the Wall Street Journal.

She then allegedly contacted a wealthy businessman and said that if he could help her into the dinner "she would be of use to him". At the same time, she is said to have said that Greek businessmen financed her travels.

- I can give you the whole world, which you deserve. I'm going to make you a lot of money, she told the businessman, according to the paper.

She then made her way into the dinner but left early according to the chairman.

The WSJ previously reported on an incident ahead of Kimberly Guilfoyle's congressional hearing to become US ambassador to Greece. In connection with it, according to the magazine, Guilfoyle contacted the Maga donor Eric Deters, with an urgent request to transfer 100,000 dollars, i.e. approximately one million kroner, which she stated she owed to American Express. She instructed the donor on how to leave no trace and said that in return he would get help in getting the Trump administration to look into his personal tax problems.

"Honey, please, I need you to get this done for me today," Guilfoyle wrote in a message to the Republican donor on July 3, 2025, just days before the hearing.

A former employee who worked closely with Melania Trump wrote on X that Guilfoyle, who was the fiancee of Donald Trump Jr. between 2018 and 2024, "knows too much" to be fired.

"I would be shocked if there are any consequences from this. She knows far too much about the Trump family/inner circle and I guess they want her as far away from them as possible. An angry KG in the US would not be good for Trumpworld," she wrote on Thursday.

Guilfoyle has not commented.
