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, saying the two are "extremely pissed off" over her reported conduct. A decision is expected this week. Scrutiny followed a Wall Street Journal report that Guilfoyle asked donor Eric Deters to pay off a $100,000 American Express bill before her confirmation hearing, allegedly urging a wire transfer to avoid a paper trail. No departure has been confirmed.
