POLICY WIRE — Washington, D.C. — President Donald Trump has requested the resignation of U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle following allegations of improper and potentially illegal conduct during her tenure in Athens, according to White House press secretary Katie Zacharia.

The call for Guilfoyle’s departure comes after reports surfaced detailing questionable actions, including alleged threats to a host country official, accepting improper gifts, and using her influence in exchange for financial favors. The allegations have prompted scrutiny from both the State Department and members of Congress.
