What happened
President Trump said he is considering firing U.S. ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle, adding, “We’re not happy.” Reports allege Greek businessmen funded her luxury travel and that she used her post to promote business interests, including Aktor Group. Guilfoyle, a former Fox News host and Donald Trump Jr.’s former fiancée, was confirmed by the Senate in 2025 after Trump returned to office. Her attorneys deny travel impropriety, saying she followed State Department guidance and ethics rules. Donor Eric Deters says she sought about $100,000 toward a credit-card bill for access; her attorneys call it unpaid work fees. The State Department inspector general is reviewing her conduct. Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have not announced a decision.
How each side covered it
From the left
Left-leaning outlets framed the controversy as a corruption scandal about private benefit and diplomatic power, while stressing the political peril around Guilfoyle’s Trump-family connection. The Daily Beast emphasized alleged financial impropriety and a lavish European lifestyle tied to her official role. HuffPost lingered on purported private messages as a spectacle of personal shade and ridicule.
From the right
Right-leaning outlets treated Guilfoyle’s standing with Trump and Rubio as the central drama, while keeping the alleged personal-gain claims in view. The New York Post centered White House anger and described her ambassadorship as being in serious jeopardy despite her Trump-world ties. The Washington Examiner highlighted her attorneys’ defense that the money request concerned unpaid services, not favors.
