WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump is contemplating the dismissal of Kimberly Guilfoyle, the U.S. ambassador to Greece, following reports of alleged misconduct, according to sources. A source close to the White House indicated that Guilfoyle is 'on very thin ice' as Trump evaluates her position. Senior officials reportedly expressed dissatisfaction and are seeking to replace her. Guilfoyle, who is the former fiancée of Donald Trump Jr. and the ex-wife of California Governor Gavin Newsom, faces scrutiny over allegations of staff abuse and leveraging her position for personal gain. The Wall Street Journal reported that Guilfoyle allegedly requested a donor to settle a $100,000 credit card debt prior to her Senate confirmation hearing in exchange for favors. She reportedly claimed that Greek tycoons funded her travel and stated, 'I’m going to make you a lot of f—ing money' to secure access to an event. Additionally, she is under investigation by the State Department for her management style in Athens, which has been described as 'tyrannical.' The Associated Press reported that Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are considering her termination. A White House spokesperson stated they could not confirm whether Trump is planning to dismiss her.
