Allegations Prompt Review of U.S. Ambassador to Greece

Senior officials in the Trump administration are reportedly weighing whether to remove Kimberly Guilfoyle from her post as U.S. ambassador to Greece. The review follows new claims that Greek businessmen financed her luxury travel while she used her diplomatic position to lobby for their interests. An audio recording reviewed by a major newspaper captured Guilfoyle boasting about connections to two prominent Greek tycoons and promising to generate wealth for an American businessman in exchange for a dinner invitation for Eric Trump. The State Department’s inspector general has opened a probe into whether the ambassador accepted gifts or favors from private businessmen.

Guilfoyle, a former television personality and ex-fiancée of Donald Trump Jr., was confirmed as ambassador after a contentious hearing. Earlier reporting indicated that she asked a Trump donor for $100,000 to cover an American Express bill, allegedly offering to influence senior administration officials on his behalf. The same reporting linked her to efforts encouraging southeastern European governments to purchase American natural gas through the firm of Alexandros Exarchou, CEO of the Greek construction company Aktor Group.

Vice President J.D. President Donald Trump acknowledged hearing the allegations and described Guilfoyle as “always very nice.” A spokesman for the U.S. Embassy in Athens defended the ambassador, stating she had adhered to State Department ethics and gift-reporting guidelines and calling the claims “unsubstantiated.” Guilfoyle’s lawyer denied the alleged $100,000 exchange and declined further comment.
