Summary
President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are considering removing Kimberly Guilfoyle as U.S. Ambassador to Greece, a senior U.S. official told the Associated Press, with a decision possible this week. Scrutiny intensified after the Wall Street Journal reported Guilfoyle asked Trump donor Eric Deters to pay off a $100,000 American Express bill before her Senate confirmation hearing, allegedly urging him to wire funds directly to avoid a paper trail while offering access to officials. No departure has been confirmed.
