Reporting from The Hill and Spectrum News indicates that Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are together weighing whether to dismiss Guilfoyle from her diplomatic position. According to BBC News, allegations published by The Wall Street Journal claim Guilfoyle requested that a donor pay a credit card bill in exchange for administration access. BBC News also reported allegations that she claimed to an official in Athens that the United States could topple the Greek government. [1][2][5]

Lawyers representing Guilfoyle denied the allegations, stating that the money requested from the donor was owed to her for consulting work and speaking engagements, BBC News reported. As FTMQ Politics reported earlier, Senator John Barrasso stated he expects a formal inquiry into the ambassador, which could be conducted by the Department of State Office of Inspector General.

Guilfoyle has served as the United States ambassador to Greece since 2025, after previously working as a media personality and an advisor for Trump's 2020 presidential campaign. She is also the ex-fiancée of the president's son, Donald Trump Jr., BBC News reported. [1][13]
