Kimberly Guilfoyle resigned Tuesday as U.S. ambassador to Greece after text messages emerged in which she asked a donor to pay personal debts, the New York Post reported. The Daily Beast reported that the White House had asked her to resign amid allegations of improper and potentially illegal conduct before and during her tenure.
The U.S. Embassy in Greece removed Guilfoyle’s biography from its website and posted a biography for Josh Huck, according to the Daily Beast. Eric Deters, a lawyer and former Trump donor, has filed a defamation lawsuit against Guilfoyle after she allegedly said messages he released were created with artificial intelligence, the Post reported. Deters said he would withdraw the suit if President Trump sought the extradition of physician Abubakar Atiq Durrani from Pakistan and investigated the judiciary’s handling of that case.
