US ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle – the former fiancée of one of President Donald Trump’s sons – has resigned at the request of the White House but labelled numerous allegations of questionable behaviour as “false”.
White House press secretary Katie Zacharia confirmed the much-speculated move in her first press briefing in the new role on Tuesday (early Wednesday AEDT).
“We have asked Ambassador Guilfoyle to resign,” the former conservative commenter and regular Fox News guest said.
“She has been a wonderful asset to the team, and we wish her well.”
On Monday (Tuesday AEDT), US President Donald Trump had said he was “looking at” firing Guilfoyle, who almost became his daughter-in-law before splitting with Donald Trump Jr in 2024.
"We're not happy."
In the past week, numerous allegations of questionable behaviour from Guilfoyle have emerged.
Guilfoyle has rejected all allegations of improper conduct.
“These allegations are false, and I intend to vigorously defend my name, my reputation, and my integrity,” she said in a post to X shortly after her resignation was announced.
”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.”
Guilfoyle pledged to remain a loyal Trump supporter even after leaving the job.
