President Donald Trump indicated Monday that he is considering firing Kimberly Guilfoyle, a former Trump campaign surrogate who has served as U.S. ambassador to Greece since 2025. “We’re looking at it,” Trump said when asked if he was considering firing Guilfoyle, as first reported by The Associated Press, amid allegations of misconduct related to her role as ambassador. “We are not happy,” Trump added. His comments come days after he adopted a softer tone when asked about his alleged conduct on Friday. “I only heard a little about it. I don’t know much, but she was always very kind,” he said at the time. A lawyer for Guilfoyle, a former Fox News personality who used to be engaged to Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Trump’s comments on Monday. Guilfoyle and the U.S. Embassy in Greece are under investigation by the State Department’s Office of Inspector General, two people familiar with the decision confirmed to NBC News. The investigation came after reports in The Wall Street Journal of misconduct in her role as ambassador, including allegedly boasting about her connections to Greek tycoons who she said financed her luxury trips. The story cited people who heard the conversation and an audio recording. The reports have not been independently confirmed by NBC News. Last week, a Trump donor named Eric Deters accused Guilfoyle of asking him to pay his outstanding $100,000 American Express bill in the days before his 2025 Senate confirmation hearing in exchange for access to top administration officials. “I was so desperate for that $100,000. It was a quid pro quo,” Deters told NBC News in an interview last week. anything in Trump’s world, there was no request too big,” she said, adding that he did not pay her the money. Guilfoyle’s lawyers did not respond to NBC News’ requests for comment on the allegations, but told The Associated Press that Deters owed her the money for her speaking engagements, which he denies. The lawyers, David Schwartz and Jesse Binnall, also denied allegations of any wrongdoing related to her trip, telling the AP in a statement that she “sought, obtained and followed the State Department. guidance and followed the Department’s travel regulations.”
