Kimberly Guilfoyle Resigns as Ambassador to Greece Amid Allegations
Kimberly Guilfoyle resigned as U.S. ambassador to Greece on Tuesday, within two hours of the White House saying Trump wanted her out.
$100,000 credit card bill: the Journal says she asked a donor to pay it.
Donor Eric Deters said he never made the payment.
Reports also allege she promoted Greek firm Aktor Group and its lobbyist.
Guilfoyle called the allegations false and vowed to defend her reputation.
Why it matters: The case puts a Trump appointee's conduct abroad under scrutiny from his own administration. Trump said she was doing a good job, but we didn't like what we were reading.
Her lawyers say the money sought was unpaid fees for pre-nomination speaking events.
Greek opposition parties called the matter an issue of national dignity.
