President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are reportedly considering the removal of Kimberly Guilfoyle from her post as the United States Ambassador to Greece. The potential action follows a series of reports detailing allegations of improper conduct and financial irregularities, including claims related to donor bailouts, that have surfaced both before and during her time in Athens.

According to a senior U.S. official, the administration is currently reviewing the situation and is expected to make a final decision regarding her status following the Columbus Day holiday. The official indicated that both the President and the Secretary of State are highly frustrated by the nature of the allegations, which have cast a shadow over her diplomatic role.

While both sources confirm the administration is weighing her termination, they differ slightly in their framing of the specific allegations. Fox News emphasizes the connection to donor bailout allegations, while the South China Morning Post (SCMP) characterizes the situation as involving improper and potentially illegal conduct. Neither report has provided specific details regarding the exact nature of the financial claims, though both outlets agree that the situation has reached a critical point requiring immediate administrative review.
