Kimberly Guilfoyle resigns as ambassador amid misconduct investigation

Kimberly Guilfoyle resigned as US ambassador to Greece after the Trump administration called for her to step down, amid a State Department investigation into allegations of workplace retaliation and ethics violations. The article reports that, as her position came under pressure, she sought support from senior Trump allies and Rupert Murdoch, but President Donald Trump did not take her calls.

According to sources cited in the article, Guilfoyle asked Tom Barrack and Pete Hegseth to make a case for her to Trump, and contacted Murdoch over Wall Street Journal coverage; he did not secure changes to the stories. The allegations include seeking $100,000 from a donor to pay personal credit card debt, as well as concerns about embassy spending, travel and workplace conduct. Guilfoyle denies the accusations and says she will defend her name.
