White House has asked Kimberly Guilfoyle to resign 2:56

CNN · PBS NewsHour, PBS NewsHour and Daily Caller report that the White House has asked Kimberly Guilfoyle, U.S. ambassador to Greece, to leave her post after weeks of stories alleging misconduct. Press secretary Katie Zacharia, in her first briefing, said the administration requested her resignation and wished her well. The outlets differ on the outcome: the Daily Caller says Guilfoyle resigned Monday, while PBS NewsHour, relying on the Associated Press, said Tuesday it was unclear whether she had.

PBS NewsHour says The Wall Street Journal has alleged she threatened a host-country official, took improper gifts, and sought a $100,000 credit card payment from a Trump donor in exchange for access to administration officials. The Daily Caller names the donor as Eric Deters, who told NBC News it was a quid pro quo, and notes the transfer never happened. Guilfoyle wrote on X, "These allegations are false." Her lawyers, David Schwartz and Jesse Binnall, deny wrongdoing.

PBS NewsHour adds that the State Department's inspector general is reviewing the allegations, and that Democrats Gregory Meeks, Jeanne Shaheen and Robert Garcia want an investigation.
