Trump and Rubio weigh firing the U.S. ambassador to Greece
President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are weighing firing Kimberly Guilfoyle, the U.S. ambassador to Greece, after reports of improper conduct, the Guardian and Fox News reported. Fox described misconduct and donor-bailout allegations. Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso, the chamber’s No. 2 Republican, called the reports “very troubling,” CBS News and The Hill reported. The Straits Times reported on exasperation in Greece over the allegations. We have not independently verified the allegations, and the coverage we reviewed shows no decision.
An ambassador is the president’s personal representative abroad. Public doubt from a top Senate Republican makes her position harder to defend.
The story matters to readers for what it says about vetting of political appointees. There is no direct effect on daily life.
Watch for a decision, an official statement from the State Department and whether more Republicans speak out. Allegations are not findings.
