Trump says Guilfoyle was pushed out as Greece ambassador over press coverage
President Trump said Kimberly Guilfoyle left her post as ambassador to Greece because the administration disliked the coverage about her conduct.
President Trump said on Tuesday that negative press coverage of Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle led to her removal. He spoke to reporters outside the White House, according to The Hill.
Trump said Guilfoyle had been doing a good job in Greece, but that the administration did not like what it was reading. He used the words "didn't like what we were reading."
The Guardian reports the coverage referred to allegations that Guilfoyle asked a Trump donor to pay her credit card bills. The Guardian describes the departure as a resignation the administration requested. The Hill describes it as an ousting.
Guilfoyle was once engaged to Donald Trump Jr. The Guardian describes her as a longstanding political ally of the president.
