白宫已要求金伯莉·吉勒福伊尔辞去美国驻希腊大使职务,此前针对她的财务交易、对待使馆工作人员的方式以及与外国商业利益的关系的指控日益增多。
“我们已要求吉勒福伊尔大使辞职。她一直是团队中出色的一员,我们祝愿她一切顺利,”白宫新闻秘书凯蒂·扎卡里亚周二在她首次主持的新闻发布会上宣布。
目前尚不清楚吉勒福伊尔是否已提交正式辞职申请,当被要求进一步澄清时,白宫让福克斯新闻数字频道参考发布会的发言。
扎卡里亚的这一表态仅在一天前,总统唐纳德·特朗普公开承认他正在考虑解雇吉勒福伊尔——她曾是他长子小唐纳德·特朗普的未婚妻。

“嗯,我们正在考虑,”周一被问及是否考虑罢免吉勒福伊尔时,特朗普告诉记者,“我们对此不满意。”
上周《华尔街日报》报道称,吉勒福伊尔在2025年7月参议院确认听证会前不久,要求特朗普捐赠人埃里克·德特斯为其偿还10万美元的美国运通账单,她因此受到审查。
根据《华尔街日报》审核的信息,吉勒福伊尔敦促德特斯直接将钱款汇至美国运通账户,称这笔交易不会留下纸质痕迹,同时提出帮助他接触特朗普政府高级官员。德特斯表示他从未支付这笔款项。
吉勒福伊尔的律师杰西·宾纳尔否认了这些信息的真实性,称吉勒福伊尔在获得提名前曾因出席活动获得报酬,“因前往并支持这些爱国活动而未结清款项”。
此前《华尔街日报》就已调查吉勒福伊尔在希腊的行为,包括她 allegedly 推动希腊建筑和能源公司Aktor集团的利益,并允许其注册说客克里斯托斯·马拉法佐陪同她参加与高级官员的私人外交会议。
《华尔街日报》还报道称,吉勒福伊尔在与希腊官员的晚宴上暗示美国会削弱希腊政府,援引了罗马尼亚的政治局势。希腊外交大臣随后表示,无需传唤吉勒福伊尔作出解释,因为该国能源大臣否认曾有任何威胁。
另据《每日邮报》报道,美国国务院监察长办公室已就吉勒福伊尔对待使馆雇员、私人旅行、接受礼物以及与商业利益的关系等指控展开调查。

众议院民主党议员因被指控与雇员存在“不当性接触”而接受调查
消息人士称,吉勒福伊尔营造了充满敌意的工作环境,她威胁要解雇雇员。他们还声称,她因一些小事故降级了安保团队成员,包括一名在她赴米科诺斯岛度假时,未能在凌晨4点回应其要冰块的请求的官员。
监察长办公室拒绝证实或否认调查的存在。宾纳尔告诉《每日邮报》,“任何暗示大使存在不当行为的说法都没有依据”。
这些指控引起了包括新罕布什尔州民主党参议员珍妮·沙欣和纽约州民主党众议员格雷戈里·米克斯在内的国会民主党人的审查,他们呼吁对吉勒福伊尔的行为进行调查。米克斯敦促,如果指控属实,应将其罢免。
副总统JD·万斯周五就这一争议发表讲话,告诫不要急于下结论,同时承认不当行为应承担后果。
“我们先了解实际情况,弄清真相,”万斯在俄亥俄州告诉记者,“显然,如果确实发生了坏事,那么相关人员必须为此承担后果。”
国务卿马可·卢比奥上周访问希腊并在雅典卫城背景下发表讲话,最初为吉勒福伊尔的表现进行了辩护。
“我们的大使在这儿一直表现出色,”卢比奥周三告诉记者。
一天后,卢比奥拒绝直接回应指控,质问记者依赖匿名消息源的做法。
“你们四处散播,以为有人告诉你们一件事,你们报道出来就成了真理。这不是真理,”卢比奥周四告诉记者。

特朗普于2024年12月提名吉勒福伊尔出任这一外交职务。她曾是加州检察官,也是特朗普的长期盟友,此前担任总统的重要助选人和筹款人。
吉勒福伊尔与小唐纳德·特朗普订婚四年,两人于2024年12月公开分手,同月特朗普提名她出任驻希腊大使。
总统长子于2026年5月与棕榈滩社交名流贝蒂娜·安德森结婚。
吉勒福伊尔此前还曾于2001年至2006年与民主党人、加州州长加文·纽瑟姆结婚,当时纽瑟姆担任旧金山市长。

The move came one day after Trump said ‘we’re not happy’ about the former Donald Trump Jr fiancée’s conduct

The White House has asked Kimberly Guilfoyle to resign as U.S. ambassador to Greece amid mounting allegations involving her financial dealings, treatment of embassy staff and relationships with foreign business interests.
“We have asked Ambassador Guilfoyle to resign. She has been a wonderful asset to the team, and we wish her well,” White House press secretary Katie Zacharia announced Tuesday during her first-ever briefing to the press.
It is not clear whether Guilfoyle lodged her official resignation, and when asked for clarity, the White House referred Fox News Digital to the remarks from the briefing.
The update from Zacharia came just one day after President Donald Trump publicly acknowledged that he was considering firing Guilfoyle, who was previously engaged to his eldest son, Donald Trump Jr.

“Well, we’re looking at it,” Trump told reporters Monday when asked whether he was considering removing Guilfoyle. “We’re not happy.”
Guilfoyle came under scrutiny last week after The Wall Street Journal reported that she asked Trump donor Eric Deters to pay off a $100,000 American Express bill shortly before her Senate confirmation hearing in July 2025.
According to messages reviewed by the Journal, Guilfoyle urged Deters to wire the money directly to American Express, saying the transaction would not leave a paper trail, while offering to help him gain access to senior Trump administration officials. Deters said he never made the payment.
Guilfoyle’s attorney, Jesse Binnall, disputed the authenticity of the messages, saying Guilfoyle had been paid to speak at events before her nomination and “was owed a balance for traveling to and supporting these patriotic events.”
The allegations followed an earlier Journal investigation into Guilfoyle’s conduct in Greece, including claims that she promoted the interests of Greek construction and energy company Aktor Group and allowed its registered lobbyist, Christos Marafatsos, to accompany her to private diplomatic meetings with senior officials.
The Journal also reported that Guilfoyle suggested at a dinner with Greek officials that the U.S. would undermine their government, citing political developments in Romania. Greece’s foreign minister subsequently said there was no need to summon Guilfoyle for an explanation because the country’s energy minister denied that any threat had been made.
Separately, the State Department’s Office of Inspector General reportedly opened an investigation into allegations involving Guilfoyle’s treatment of embassy employees, private travel, acceptance of gifts and relationships with business interests, according to the Daily Mail.

HOUSE DEMOCRAT INVESTIGATED OVER ALLEGED ‘INAPPROPRIATE SEXUAL CONTACT’ WITH STAFFER
Sources described a hostile workplace in which Guilfoyle allegedly threatened to fire employees. They also claimed that she demoted members of her security detail over minor incidents, including an officer who reportedly failed to answer a 4 a.m. request for ice while she was vacationing in Mykonos.
The inspector general’s office declined to confirm or deny the existence of an investigation. Binnall told the Daily Mail that “any implication of wrongdoing by the Ambassador is unsupported.”
The allegations drew scrutiny from congressional Democrats, including Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., and Rep. Gregory Meeks, D-N.Y., who called for a review of Guilfoyle’s conduct. Meeks urged her removal if the allegations were substantiated.
Vice President JD Vance addressed the controversy Friday, cautioning against rushing to judgment while acknowledging that misconduct should carry consequences.
“Let’s actually see what the facts are. Let’s see what the truth is,” Vance told reporters in Ohio. “And obviously, if there was something bad that happened, then people have to suffer consequences for it.”
Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who visited Greece last week and delivered remarks against the backdrop of the Acropolis, initially defended Guilfoyle’s performance.
“Our ambassador has been a strong ambassador here,” Rubio told reporters Wednesday.
A day later, Rubio declined to address the allegations directly, challenging reporters over their reliance on unnamed sources.
“You guys walk around thinking that because some source told you something, and you reported it, it’s the gospel. It’s not the gospel,” Rubio told reporters Thursday.

Trump nominated Guilfoyle to the diplomatic post in December 2024. A former California prosecutor and longtime Trump ally, she previously served as a prominent surrogate and fundraiser for the president.
Guilfoyle was engaged to Donald Trump Jr. for four years before the couple publicly split in December 2024, the same month Trump nominated her to serve as ambassador to Greece.
The president’s eldest son married Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson in May 2026.

Guilfoyle was also previously married to California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, from 2001 to 2006, when he served as mayor of San Francisco.
