华盛顿讯——据知情人士透露，美国驻希腊大使金伯利·吉尔福伊尔正准备辞职。
此前，一名同伙公开了短信记录，显示吉尔福伊尔在去年参议院确认听证会前曾向他索要10万美元用于偿还美国运通信用卡账单，白宫随后要求吉尔福伊尔辞职。
“我们已要求吉尔福伊尔大使辞职，”白宫新闻秘书凯蒂·扎卡里亚在周二的首场新闻发布会上表示，“她一直是团队中出色的一员，我们祝她一切顺利。”
两名消息人士告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，吉尔福伊尔近日曾表示不愿辞职，但白宫的这番表态让她别无选择。
不到两小时后，吉尔福伊尔在X平台上发帖证实了自己的辞职计划。
“虽然我担任大使的时光即将结束，但我对特朗普总统、‘美国优先’运动以及我所热爱的国家的承诺永远不会改变，”她写道。
但她同时否认了针对她的指控，并表示打算“全力维护”自己的名誉。
“担任美国驻希腊大使是我一生的荣幸，”她写道，“我将永远感谢唐纳德·J·特朗普总统和国务卿马可·卢比奥赋予我代表这个世界历史上最伟大国家的非凡特权。”
周二，白宫尚未公布新任美国驻希腊大使的人选。
吉尔福伊尔在特朗普政府中已所剩无几的盟友。她的前未婚夫小唐纳德·特朗普对她态度客气，但双方已鲜有联系。
此次罢免吉尔福伊尔的举动此前早有预兆：总统周一在接受记者采访时表示，他正在“考虑”解雇她，并解释称自己“对此感到不满”。
哥伦比亚广播公司已联系美国国务院寻求置评。
商人埃里克·迪特斯上周在接受哥伦比亚广播公司新闻采访时透露，2025年7月，吉尔福伊尔要求他向自己的美国运通账户转账10万美元，这样在等待参议院确认期间，这笔款项就不会出现在她的财务披露文件中。
迪特斯将她的请求描述为“权钱交易”，并表示他曾寻求吉尔福伊尔帮忙，以获得接触特朗普政府官员的机会，包括司法部长和美国国税局局长。据知情人士上周向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻透露，白宫官员已确认吉尔福伊尔与迪特斯之间的短信内容属实。《华尔街日报》最先报道了两人之间的短信往来。
迪特斯告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻：“当时我拿不出10万美元给金伯利·吉尔福伊尔，否则我真的就是个蠢货了。”他称自己当时编造了“妻子不同意”的借口。
吉尔福伊尔于2025年7月中旬出席了参议院确认听证会，并于数月后的9月获得确认。
《华尔街日报》还报道称，吉尔福伊尔曾在今年1月炫耀希腊大亨为其奢华旅行买单，并对自己在瑞士达沃斯世界经济论坛期间被排除在埃里克·特朗普的晚宴之外表示愤怒。
Kimberly Guilfoyle preparing to resign as ambassador to Greece

Washington— U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle is preparing to resign, according to sources familiar with the matter.
The White House has told Guilfoyle to step down, days after an associate shared text messages indicating she had asked him for $100,000 to pay her American Express bill before her Senate confirmation hearing last year.
“We have asked Ambassador Guilfoyle to resign,” White House press secretary Katie Zacharia said during her first press briefing Tuesday. “She has been a wonderful asset to the team, and we wish her well.”
In recent days, Guilfoyle had expressed reluctance to do so, but the White House briefing left her with little choice, two of the sources told CBS News.
Guilfoyle confirmed her plans to resign in a post on X less than two hours later.
“While my time as ambassador may be coming to an end, my commitment to President Trump, the America First movement, and the country I love will never end,” she wrote.
But she also denied the allegations against her and said she intends to “rigorously defend” her name.
“Serving as the United States Ambassador to Greece has been the honor of a lifetime,” she wrote. “I will forever be grateful to President Donald J. Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio for entrusting me with the extraordinary privilege of representing the greatest country in the history of the world.”
There were no names circulating Tuesday in the White House for a new ambassador to Greece.
Guilfoyle has few remaining allies in the Trump administration. Her former fiancé, Donald Trump, Jr., has been polite to her but no longer has much contact with her.
The move to oust Guilfoyle comes after the president told reporters Monday he was “looking at” firing her, explaining he was “not happy.”
CBS News has reached out to the State Department for comment.
Businessman Eric Deters said in an interview with CBS News last week that in July 2025, Guilfoyle asked him to wire her American Express account $100,000 so it wouldn’t show up on her financial disclosures as she awaited Senate confirmation.
Deters characterized her request as “pay to play,” and said he had sought help from Guilfoyle with access to Trump administration officials, including the attorney general and IRS commissioner. White House officials were told that the text messages between Guilfoyle and Deters were authentic, sources familiar with the matter told CBS News last week. The Wall Street Journal first reported the text messages between Guilfoyle and Deters.
Deters told CBS News that “at that moment in time, I didn’t have $100,000 to spare to give to Kimberly Guilfoyle, or I actually would have been a dumbass enough to do it.” He said he made up an “excuse” that his wife wouldn’t go along with it.
Guilfoyle appeared at her confirmation hearing in mid-July 2025, and she was confirmed a few months later, in September.
The Journal also reported that Guilfoyle had in January boasted about Greek tycoons who were footing the bill for her luxury travel and expressed outrage about being blocked from a dinner for Eric Trump during the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
