Trump weighs dismissing ambassador to Greece amid misconduct investigation
President Donald Trump said Monday that he is considering firing Kimberly Guilfoyle from her role as U.S. ambassador to Greece, adding that the administration is not pleased. The State Department's inspector general is investigating Guilfoyle and the U.S. Embassy in Greece following reports of alleged misconduct, including claims about luxury trips and a donor's allegation that she sought $100,000 to cover credit card debt. An attorney for Guilfoyle did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Trump's remarks.
President Donald Trump told reporters Monday he is reviewing whether to remove Kimberly Guilfoyle from her post as U.S. ambassador to Greece, saying the administration is dissatisfied. Days earlier, he had said he knew little about the allegations and described her as always pleasant.
Guilfoyle, a former Fox News figure and senior Trump campaign surrogate once engaged to Donald Trump Jr., has served in Athens since 2025. The State Department inspector general is examining her and the embassy. Reporting has described claims of luxury travel linked to Greek business figures and a donor's assertion that she requested $100,000 for credit card debt before her confirmation hearing. Her lawyer did not immediately comment.

... Need plain text. No markdown? Fine. Need ensure expanded "additional factual detail and background drawn ONLY from material above" We included "Athens" from Greece? Source says U.S. ambassador to Greece, Embassy in Greece. Athens not explicitly in material? It says ambassador to Greece, not Athens. "Athens" is capital of Greece, but not in material. Is that inventing? It is common knowledge but material doesn't mention Athens. To be safe, remove Athens. "has served in the role since 2025."

"Greek business figures" source says Greek tycoons. Tycoons = wealthy business figures. Fine. "donor's assertion" source. "requested $100,000 for credit card debt bef
