Zacharia says White House asked Guilfoyle to resign 0:23

CNN · PBS NewsHour, PBS NewsHour and Daily Caller report that the White House has asked Kimberly Guilfoyle, the U.S. ambassador to Greece, to resign amid allegations of improper conduct. New press secretary Katie Zacharia announced the request at her first briefing, saying Guilfoyle was "a wonderful asset to the team." The accounts differ on timing: CNN and PBS NewsHour place the briefing on Tuesday, and PBS NewsHour says it was unclear whether Guilfoyle had left, while Daily Caller says the briefing was Monday and that Guilfoyle resigned that day.

PBS NewsHour, drawing on Wall Street Journal reporting, lists an alleged threat to a host-country official, improper gifts, and an offer of administration access in return for paying a $100,000 credit card bill. Guilfoyle's lawyers, David Schwartz and Jesse Binnall, deny wrongdoing, and PBS NewsHour adds that the State Department's inspector general is examining the claims.

Daily Caller identifies the donor as Eric Deters, who told NBC News the arrangement was a quid pro quo, and notes the wire never happened. Guilfoyle wrote on X that the allegations are false.
