White House has asked Kimberly Guilfoyle to resign: White House press secretary

The White House has asked U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle to resign, White House press secretary Katie Zacharia said during a press briefing Tuesday morning.

A reporter later asked whether the president had spoken to Guilfoyle, but Zacharia only said that the president would take more questions when he departs the White House later Tuesday morning for Alaska.

"It has been the honor of my lifetime to serve the United States of America. God bless President Trump, God bless our incredible diplomats and service members, and God bless the United States of America," Guilfoyle wrote.

Guilfoyle, the former wife of California Gov. Gavin Newsom and ex-fiance of Donald Trump Jr., held the ambassador position for nearly a year.

The announcement comes after a report that Guilfoyle allegedly offered a donor to President Donald Trump access to top administration officials in exchange for cash.

Wall Street Journal first reported on Deters' accusations that Guilfoyle's alleged actions were a quid pro quo.

Asked whether he was considering firing Guilfoyle on Monday, Trump said he was.

Guilfoyle responded to the recent allegations against her in her Tuesday social media post.

A spokesperson for the U.S. Embassy in Athens earlier responded to the reports, saying that Guilfoyle has "faithfully followed State Department ethics and gift reporting guidelines."

Secretary of State Marco Rubio, visiting Greece last week, was seen with Guilfoyle by his side during official meetings. The secretary refused to comment on the swirling reports, saying he didn’t know if they were true or not.
