Summary

U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle announced her resignation Tuesday after the White House asked her to step down, press secretary Katie Zacharia said. The move follows Wall Street Journal reports alleging she sought to have a Trump donor pay off a $100,000 credit card debt before her confirmation, and a State Department inspector general inquiry into financial and workplace conduct. Guilfoyle called the allegations "false" and said she will "vigorously defend" her reputation.
