“She was engaged to his eldest son.” Source: Trump is considering dismissing the US ambassador to Greece for this reason

An informed source said on Sunday that President Donald Trump is considering the possibility of dismissing Kimberly Guilfoyle from her position as US ambassador to Greece, following a series of embarrassing details that were revealed about her behavior. Trump has been following reports alleging that Guilfoyle, who was engaged to Trump's eldest son Donald Trump Jr. for four years, accepted lavish gifts while serving as ambassador, and sought money in exchange for opportunities to meet with figures in the administration before her appointment was approved.

These reports rankled senior administration officials, especially since they emerged at a time when Secretary of State Marco Rubio was visiting Athens to deliver a high-profile speech on Western democracy from the site of the Acropolis. Trump is expected to decide soon whether to fire Guilfoyle, according to what the source said.

The president did not defend Guilfoyle when asked by Ufok News about the allegations on Friday. "I don't know much, but she was always very nice."

Ofoq News has contacted the White House for comment. Eric Deters, a former Trump campaign donor, said that Guilfoyle asked him in a text message to transfer $100,000 to her to pay off her American Express card in the days before she was confirmed in the Senate.

In the end, Deters did not transfer the amount to Guilfoyle, saying he did not have enough cash at the time. A lawyer for the ambassador told the Wall Street Journal, which first reported on the letters, that Guilfoyle doubts the authenticity of those letters.

The informed source stated that Guilfoyle denied to administration officials last week that she had sent these messages. Guilfoyle maintained a close relationship with the Trump family, and after her separation from Donald Trump Jr., she obtained this prestigious diplomatic position in Greece.

Allies of the president and his son told Ofoq News that they feel this incident has caused embarrassment, although it is not clear whether it will have consequences for Guilfoyle. Trump has repeatedly made clear that he is not satisfied with his allies exploiting their relationship with him for financial gain.

Vice President J.D. Vance on Friday declined to express his opinion on whether Guilfoyle should bear the consequences of what happened, saying he refuses to "try people in the court of public opinion." But the vice president said that, in general, he was uncomfortable with getting paid for access to officials.

“Of course, I would not like it for anyone to sell access to another government official, especially if it is a high-ranking government official,” he said. Of course, if someone does something bad, they have to bear the consequences.”
