Trump Says He’s ‘Looking At’ Firing Ambassador to Greece, Don Jr.’s Ex, Kimberly Guilfoyle Following Damning Reports on Her Behavior

One of the most important differences between the first and second Trump administrations will likely be the degree of loyalty Mr. Trump now shows for his staff, and vice versa. He made a rare exception to that rule on Monday, when he said he was “looking at” firing his ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle — the ex-fiancée of his son — following a series of damning reports about her behavior. Mr. Guilfoyle, a former Fox News commentator, began a relationship with the president’s son, Donald Trump Jr., in 2018. They became engaged in 2020 but later broke up in 2024. The younger Mr. Trump has since married. Ms. Guilfoyle was once married to Governor Gavin Newsom of California. She worked for the elder Mr. Trump and the Republican Party during the 2020 and 2024 presidential elections. In September, The Wall Street Journal reported that Ms. Guilfoyle demanded that a Trump donor, Eric Deters, wire her $100,000 in order to pay off a credit card bill in exchange for access to members of the administration. The demand was made ahead of her confirmation hearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 2025, apparently in an effort to eliminate her debt before turning over her financial disclosure forms. Mr. Deters eventually declined, though not before Ms. Guilfoyle demanded that he “stop papering” their conversations — meaning putting their discussions on text messages — because she could get in trouble. Asked about the possibility of firing Ms. Guilfoyle as he left the White House for a rally in Ohio on Monday, Mr. Trump said he was, in fact, considering a dismissal. “We’re looking at it, yeah,” Mr. Trump said of a potential firing. “We’re not happy.”Two days before Mr. Trump made his comments, The Journal published a second story on Ms. Guilfoyle’s actions while serving as ambassador to Greece. According to The Journal, Ms. Guilfoyle took a private jet from Greece to Davos, Switzerland, for the annual World Economic Forum summit, and demanded admittance to a dinner being hosted by the president’s younger son, Eric Trump. She flew on the plane of a wealthy Greek construction tycoon, AlexandrosExarchou, and promised him the “world” and to make him “a lot of f–ing money.”Shortly after the first report was published, the top Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Congressman Gregory Meeks, demanded that Secretary of State Marco Rubio conduct an investigation into Ms. Guilfoyle. Mr. Meeks specifically sought answers about Ms. Guilfoyle’s relationship with a lobbyist for a Greek construction firm, the Aktor Group, as well as comments she allegedly made about America being about to impact the governing coalitions of European governments. Mr. Rubio initially declined to comment on The Journal’s reporting, telling reporters during a trip to Greece that the State Department would not simply take the word of journalists for fact. He said, instead, that his department would go through a process to look at her alleged behavior. “Our job is not to respond every time someone decides to give the media something,” Mr. Rubio told reporters. “I don’t even know if it’s true or not true.”“We’ll handle things appropriately,” the secretary said.
