Kimberly Guilfoyle was confirmed as the United States ambassador to Greece just over a year ago. President Trump is now considering removing her from that role, according to CBS News. The potential dismissal follows allegations that she requested funds in exchange for help with the administration. The president addressed the situation on his way to a rally in Ohio. “Well, we’re looking at it,” Donald Trump said when reporters asked whether he planned to fire Guilfoyle, adding, “We’re not happy.” As a presidential appointee, Guilfoyle serves at the president’s pleasure and can be removed without congressional approval. The allegations come from businessman Eric Deters, who claims Guilfoyle asked him to wire $100,000 to cover her American Express bill. According to Deters, the request was tied to her offering assistance with the Trump administration ahead of her Senate confirmation hearing. He told the outlet he believes the arrangement was pay-to-play. Deters ultimately did not send the money, as he “didn’t have $100,000 to spare” at the time. He added that he “actually would have been a d*****s enough to do it” otherwise. Deters says he would have paid if he had the cash He also provided text message screenshots to support his claims, including one in which Guilfoyle appeared to ask him to wire money. White House officials were told the text messages were authentic, sources told the outlet, and some aides have expressed frustration with Guilfoyle’s actions. However, her lawyer disputed the texts’ authenticity to The Wall Street Journal, which first reported them. President Trump said he was considering firing Kimberly Guilfoyle, his ambassador to Greece, amid allegations that she asked a political donor for $100,000 to pay her personal credit card bill.“Well, we’re looking at it. Yeah, we’re not happy,” Trump said.— Agent_QQQ (@Agent_QQQ) October 13, 2026 Guilfoyle has been consulting her lawyer and asking administration aides for advice, as she is reportedly aware that her position is in jeopardy. The former Fox News host was nominated by Trump and confirmed after a July 2025 Senate hearing, days after the alleged request. Deters, a former Kentucky congressional candidate, has alleged he paid Guilfoyle $300,000 in speaking fees over several years while seeking her help with tax and legal matters. Her lawyer has said she was owed a balance for traveling to and supporting his events. Deters disputes that he owed her anything. The Journal also reported that Guilfoyle boasted in audio recordings about Greek businessmen who paid for her travel. She also reportedly encouraged foreign governments to do business with one of those tycoons. Democratic lawmakers have pressed Secretary of State Marco Rubio for answers, as the reports raise questions about whether she used her role to advance private business interests. Guilfoyle was highly visible during Rubio’s recent trip to Greece. However, Rubio declined to address the Deters allegations at the time. “I’m not going to comment on a story that literally posted a few hours ago,” Marco Rubio told reporters. Vice President JD Vance has since said that if wrongdoing occurred, people “have to suffer consequences for it.” The State Department’s Office of Inspector General has opened an investigation into Guilfoyle and may compel her to testify, The Washington Post reported. The Associated Press expects a decision on her post as soon as this week.
