POLICY WIRE — Washington, D.C. — President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are reportedly weighing the possibility of firing U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle following a series of allegations regarding her conduct during her tenure in Athens.

The allegations include claims that she made threats against a host country official, accepted improper gifts and services, and used her influence within the administration to settle personal financial obligations. A senior U.S. official said both Trump and Rubio are “extremely pissed off” by the reports and are expected to make a decision this week.
