Earthquake in the Trump family! Former bride candidate's embassy post ends.

Kimberly Guilfoyle, a close political ally of U.S. President Donald Trump and former fiancée of his son Donald Trump Jr., stepped down from her post as U.S. Ambassador to Greece following allegations of misconduct. For days, secret messages that sparked debate in Washington and claims that she solicited money from donors took on a new dimension when the White House moved to act.

The White House officially announced on Tuesday, October 13, that it wanted Guilfoyle to resign. It was confirmed that her resignation had reached the White House. Thus, the name that Trump had once praised as a candidate for an ambassadorship marked the end of a significant chapter in her diplomatic career.

White House Announces Decision: Resignation Requested

White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia announced at a press briefing that Guilfoyle was asked to step down.

Zacharia said that Guilfoyle was a valuable asset to the administration and wished her success in her future endeavors.

A day earlier, Trump had told reporters that they were evaluating the question of whether Guilfoyle would be removed from office and that he was not satisfied with what had happened.Following the announcement of the decision, Trump, who spoke, said that Guilfoyle had performed his duties well but that he was upset by the reports that had emerged about him.

Trump also said that he was not a member of Guilfoyle's family, recalling that he had had a relationship with his son in the past, and that he had not met with him directly.

"Sweetie Please, Hallet Today!" The Message Became an Incident.

One of the most debated topics in the process leading to Guilfoyle's departure was the alleged correspondence between Trump and longtime supporter Eric Deters, a businessman.

According to a report by The Wall Street Journal, Guilfoyle asked Deters to pay off an American Express credit card debt of about $100,000 a few days before the Senate's ambassadorial confirmation session in July 2025.

In the Signal messages that reached the press, it was alleged that Guilfoyle said that the transaction would not appear if the money were transferred directly to the credit card account.

In another message, it was alleged that she used the expressions 'Sweetie, please, I want you to take care of this for me today.'

Deters alleged that Guilfoyle offered to help him gain access to senior officials in the Trump administration. However, it was noted that the payment in question was not made.Guilfoyle's lawyers, however, disputed the authenticity of the messages and denied the accusations.

His lawyers argued: 'This was a fee for services.'

Guilfoyle's legal team maintained that the allegations did not reflect the truth. In a statement by the lawyers, it was noted that Deters owed him approximately $150,000 for speeches and consulting services rendered before his ambassadorial appointment.

The lawyers, who argued that the money request had nothing to do with granting political favors, stated that it was a payment requested in exchange for completed services.However, the allegations raised have amplified the debate over whether Guilfoyle used his political connections to further personal financial gain.

Private jets and ties to Greek businesspeople also in the spotlight.

The debate about Guilfoyle was not limited to the credit‑card debt claim.In the audio recordings that The Wall Street Journal says it obtained, it was alleged that Guilfoyle spoke of his relationships with wealthy Greek businesspeople and that some of his luxury trips and private‑jet flights were paid for by those individuals.

It was also alleged that the ambassador supported the interests of certain Greek companies in diplomatic talks and that he could use U.S. political influence against the Greek government.

These developments also prompted scrutiny of the relationships surrounding the U.S. Embassy in Athens.

Guilfoyle's lawyers, however, argued that the use of private jets complied with the U.S. Department of State's ethical rules.

U.S. Congress Took Action

After the allegations reached the public, responses against Guilfoyle also intensified in the U.S. Congress.

Some Democrats in the Senate and House foreign‑affairs committees called for an investigation into the ambassador's activities.

It was reported that U.S. State Department inspectors also examined complaints from staff at the Athens embassy.

Meanwhile, Guilfoyle's resignation also reverberated in Greek politics. Statements from the opposition PASOK party noted that the allegations raised questions that must be answered regarding the country's sovereignty and diplomatic relations.

Guilfoyle Breaks Her Silence: 'The Allegations Are False'

Following the White House's decision, Kimberly Guilfoyle also issued a statement from her social media account.

Guilfoyle, announcing the end of her ambassadorial post, emphasized that her respect for President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio had not changed.

Rejecting the accusations against her in unequivocal terms, Guilfoyle said she would fight to defend her name, reputation, and integrity.

Stating that her loyalty to Trump and the 'America First' movement would continue, Guilfoyle said she would not allow her public service record to be shadowed by unfounded accusations.

A Time to Join the Trump Family

The 57‑year‑old Kimberly Guilfoyle was a well‑known figure in the U.S. legal, media, and political worlds before taking on a diplomatic role.

Guilfoyle, who served as a prosecutor in San Francisco and Los Angeles, began working for Fox News in 2006. In 2018, she left television to take an active role in Donald Trump’s political campaign.

That same year, Guilfoyle began a relationship with Donald Trump Jr. and later became engaged. However, the couple was reported to have split in 2024.

Guilfoyle, who was also the former wife of California Governor Gavin Newsom, had been nominated by Trump for the U.S. Embassy in Greece in December 2024. After Senate approval, she began her post in Athens in 2025.

The Person Trump Praised to Appoint Resigns from Post

Guilfoyle’s resignation sparked discussions about the future of figures who stood out for their political closeness in the Trump administration.

Once among the Trump family's closest associates and chosen to represent the United States in Greece, Guilfoyle left before completing his less-than-a-year ambassadorial post after allegations against him.

After the White House's resignation request, the process of Guilfoyle's official resignation was finalized, while the investigation into allegations of misconduct against him and potential legal consequences remain on the agenda.

Although Guilfoyle denied the accusations, the decision taken by the Trump administration reignited debates in Washington about political connections and diplomatic ethics.
