U.S. Ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle, has resigned her post amid swirling controversy about her previously requesting a GOP donor to pay for her American Express bill ($100k+).
POLITICO – […] Guilfoyle, the one-time fiancee of Donald Trump Jr., the president’s oldest son, has come under heavy scrutiny in recent days after a Wall Street Journal report last week revealed communications with Eric Deters, a Republican donor who said she urged him to wire her the money through American Express.
Kimberly Guilfoyle (via X) – “Serving as the United States Ambassador to Greece has been the honor of a lifetime. I will forever be grateful to President Donald J. Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio for entrusting me with the extraordinary privilege of representing the greatest country in the history of the world.
From my first day as Ambassador, I have worked tirelessly to advance President Trump’s America First agenda, strengthen our strategic alliance with Greece, and deliver meaningful victories for the American people.
During my tenure, we have helped secure historic agreements to expand American liquefied natural gas exports to Europe, advanced the Vertical Corridor to reduce Europe’s dependence on Russian energy, strengthened our defense and security partnership with a critical NATO ally, and expanded opportunities for American businesses and investment throughout the region.
I am especially proud of the role our Embassy has played in strengthening American energy dominance, advancing economic cooperation, and ensuring that the United States remains the indispensable leader in Southeast Europe.
These accomplishments are a testament to President Trump’s bold leadership, Secretary Rubio’s commitment to American diplomacy, and the extraordinary men and women who serve our country every day.
I also want to address the recent allegations against me. These allegations are false, and I intend to vigorously defend my name, my reputation, and my integrity. I have dedicated my professional life to fighting for justice, standing up for what is right, and defending the values that make America exceptional. I will not allow false accusations to define my decades of public service.
My gratitude and respect for President Trump and Secretary Rubio remain unwavering. I am proud of what we accomplished together, and I will always be a loyal supporter of President Trump and his mission to Make America Great Again.
While my time as Ambassador may be coming to an end, my commitment to President Trump, the America First movement, and the country I love will never end.
It has been the honor of my lifetime to serve the United States of America. My deepest heartfelt appreciation to the people of Greece for their hospitality, partnership, and welcoming me with open arms. God bless President Trump, God bless our incredible diplomats and service members, and God bless the United States of America.” (source)
(VIA AP) – […] In a statement released late Sunday, Guilfoyle’s lawyers denied that she had done anything wrong and claimed that the money she was seeking from a Trump donor was payment for services — public appearances and speaking engagements that predate her ambassadorial nomination — that had not been paid.
The lawyers, David Schwartz and Jesse Binnall, also rejected allegations of impropriety related to Guilfoyle’s travel on private planes, saying that before every such trip she “sought, obtained and followed State Department guidance and followed the Department’s travel regulations.” (read more)
Guilfoyle is a passingly interesting case. She has the goods on Newsom, so she’ll be hanging around the periphery of US politics for a couple more years until she slouches off into anonymity. I wonder what she knows about the Pelosi family syndicate?
And Newsome thought he got rid of his Grindr BDSM personal ad, wait till she shares it…oh…wait…that’ll lock up the D presidential nomination for him.
He said-She said so far. Waiting for a lot more information. Politico? Where’s Suspicious Cat when you need him (or her)?
With every smear we’ve seen, I simply can’t take ANY claims or accusations seriously. The media has cried wolf thousands of times too many.
I have my opinions about this woman which are completely irrelevant. I do question why she was an Ambassador though. Perhaps she had qualifications. I don’t really know.
If they can’t hit Trump, they hit someone in Trump’s orbit. That’s all there is to this as far as I’m concerned.
Yours is a very plausible argument and my sense is that she was a easy target for them to go after.
I thought from the beginning being ambassador degrees, was her booby prize for being dumped by DJT Jr. she needed to get out of the country and hide for a while. She is so used to living in luxury that she be looking for a new sugar, daddy soon. Getting pretty old though.
Ambassador to Greece is what I meant to say. I should edit before I submit.
Agreed Daniel. It’s like the raid of Omar’s house. The media is crying. The Dems are crying. The leftists are crying. The Muslims are crying. However, every single darn post, minus the BHO’s or ohter big libs (they have bot farms on their sides, take that into account) has them getting ratioed on the subject. And I mean big ratios.
I know, I know, social media and ratios. The same thing my wife says, however, it’s 2026, and yes, being ratioed, especially as a small fish, means something. It means you don’t have the bots, and regular people see through you.
Same here; the Uniparty has been on a roll lately going after any woman that has stepped up to serve and am definitely waiting to see how this round of lawfare ends up. She is, after all, a lawyer so am imagining some fun fireworks as this chapter unfolds.
lol rumor on the street is that when Marco Rubio got off the plane she gave him a big bear hug ,lol , a beasty. I wonder if Don Jr had to tie a board to his azz…
Was this really necessary ” I wonder if Don Jr had to tie a board to his azz…”
She saying Eri Deters is a liar, or the Wall street journal is lying about Deters… If lies were being told about me, I’d be flipping the finger not resigning..
The right thing to do .as she was media dynamite and she was the fuse, she just cut the burning fuse off,now the story will die.
well, that’s on take. I get it. mid terms and unnecessary cannon fodder gets sent to the bin.
but doesn’t this also kind of smell a LOT like what happened to LTGEN Flynn. ? and so many others too?
today doesn’t feel like winning.
one or two things has happened here, and neither of them are good.
a. President Trump administration continues a pattern of choosing poorly it’s people
b. President Trump administration is unwilling to put up a serious fight against unsubstantiated allegations.
I dunno how to react to this to be clear. But it’s not typical that someone resigns over a nothing burger either.
so…
God Bless America
Given the perception of impropriety, the correct outcome has manifested. Wonder if Mr. Rubio got an earful upon his recent extended visit with the elected leadership of Greece and the local embassy. She could have self regulated and toned down her bimbo attire.
And toned down the eye liner… Yes that’s catty, but there are NFL players who use less eye black for a game than she uses for every day makeup. I bet she would look 10 years younger if she wore less makeup.
She was always a loose cannon. But useful due to her Gavin Nessom connection.
Politics reminds me of the old timey wrestling age the likes of Dusty Rhodes Ken Patera, Bruiser Brody. A great big show for the people after the match they go in the locker room count the money drink some beer and have a laugh. On the people.
If false why resign? Has she not seen how Trump handle false information. Or Trump only one who can pull it off?
Bye, Felicia!

Don Jr getting involved with her gave me severe cognitive-dissonance from the get go.
Her worst moment – wearing a black dress for Tiffany’s wedding, when everyone else was in gorgeous pastels. She was cut out of the official “family portrait” looking like visiting death among the lovely flowers. And then was soon on the outs officially after the 2024 RNC convention.
Why did she always need to shout when she did edeliver very fine pro-Trump speeches at both major campaign events?
Black is an acceptable color for an evening wedding. Years ago it wasn’t but fashion rules have evolved. However, she should have toned down her makeup and hair. Aging is hard on many women but clinging to overdone makeup and hair actually looks “ hard”.
She’s a home/marriage wrecker. Cannot be trusted.
All of her good work goes for naught with lousy one allegation.
I do wonder why she didn’t stay and fight the allegation?
She didn’t get out in front of the allegations of impropriety, which lingered for days. She was a former prosecutor and Deputy D.A. in California years ago, so she knows better. I think somebody didn’t like Secretary Rubio’s work with Greece, and if you can’t take him down, you work the tree so that you make his job harder; she must have been an easy mark, politically speaking. Lots of globalists were probably pretty ticked off with Rubio’s Address. Either way, she can’t be in that position of responsibility and take an allegation like that with that level of disregard for the amount of time that she did.
Greece? What a sweetheart all-expense plum job. Why on earth would you screw that up? 🙄
Why on earth would she have a 100k in credit card debt?
Kim is looking a tad rough these days….
the chick is very plastic banana. Looks like everything is fake. She does get around though and has a nose for powerful men in powerful positions. That’s reason enough to keep your distance.
These guys are always thinking with the wrong noodle……
Great letter except for the “I also want to address…” paragraph.
Wrong place, wrong time for that. Don’t flounce.
Like the song says, “Let’s just kiss and say goodbye.”
KG was always just eye candy on Fox despite the fact that she has a law degree from somewhere. I have no idea what went on between KG and DTJ. They “were” engaged until DTJ traded her for a much younger model. Still, despite her limited appeal, she did campaign very hard for President Trump in all his election runs and it seems to me that she was pretty coldly cut off from the family money tree.
The older she gets, the more she looks like Steven Tyler of Aerosmith.
Good;
She is doing the right thing; and very glad she will be going after the accusers.
Appreciate her stepping down so that the President can appoint a new Ambassador which, hopefully, will not draw the attention of the Democrat/Rebublican lawfare machine as it continually pokes and prods at anyone who has stepped up to serve in this Administration, lately seeming to focus on going after any of the women who have stepped up to serve which means the old school Uniparty realized their ‘believe all women’ thing wasn’t working anymore.
