The White House's new press secretary, Katie Zacharia, made her debut with a significant announcement: President Donald Trump has asked Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle to resign. The request comes amid mounting negative press, including allegations that Guilfoyle asked a political donor to cover a $100,000 personal American Express bill.
Guilfoyle, a former prosecutor and television personality, has been a prominent figure in the MAGA Movement. She was once engaged to Donald Trump Jr. and has faced criticism for her lifestyle in Athens, where she serves as the U.S. ambassador. The resignation request follows Trump's public statement just one day earlier, indicating he was considering her dismissal.
Zacharia described Guilfoyle as a 'wonderful asset to the team' and wished her well, despite the circumstances surrounding her departure. Guilfoyle's resignation marks the end of a controversial tenure that included her previous marriage to California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a potential 2028 Democratic presidential candidate.
