Kimberly Guilfoyle, who served as the U.S. ambassador to Greece, faces allegations of multiple ethical breaches. Among these is a reported request for $100,000 from a political donor to settle her personal American Express charges.
The issue came to light on October 14, 2026, shortly after President Donald Trump dismissed her following a series of ethics complaints. On October 7, Guilfoyle and Secretary of State Marco Rubio were in Athens for a meeting at the prime minister’s office.
Reacting to these events, Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued a communication to all State Department personnel. He emphasized the importance of steering clear of conflicts of interest, underlining the ethical standards expected within their roles.
