Trump, Rubio may remove U.S. envoy to Greece

President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are considering removing U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle following multiple reports of alleged misconduct.

A senior U.S. official stated that Trump and Rubio are 'extremely pissed off' by the allegations and plan to make a decision this week after the Columbus Day holiday.

Rubio, who visited Athens last week, reportedly grew increasingly frustrated as the allegations against Guilfoyle multiplied, with some reports suggesting she attended most of his events.

The Wall Street Journal has published several stories detailing questionable conduct by Guilfoyle, including alleged threats to a host country official, acceptance of improper gifts, and offering influence in exchange for financial favors.

Guilfoyle has not publicly addressed the allegations, though her lawyer has denied any wrongdoing. The U.S. Embassy in Athens has not publicly commented on the matter.

Rubio initially defended Guilfoyle after the first report but later criticized journalists for questioning the allegations, stating he would not comment without confirmation.

A second U.S. official confirmed that the State Department’s inspector general is examining the claims, which first appeared in late September and have since increased in number.

The State Department has not commented on the potential investigation, and several lawmakers have called for an inquiry into Guilfoyle’s conduct.
