"Serving as the United States Ambassador to Greece has been the honor of a lifetime," Guilfoyle wrote in a lengthy [statement](https://x.com/kimguilfoyle/status/2110027236971855908?s=46) posted to X. "From my first day as Ambassador, I have worked tirelessly to advance President Trump’s America First agenda, strengthen our strategic alliance with Greece, and deliver meaningful victories for the American people." Guilfoyle's announcement came soon after [Katie Zacharia,](https://time.com/article/2026/10/09/katie-zacharia-white-house-press-secretary-leavitt-trump/) the White House’s new press secretary, revealed at her first briefing that Trump had asked for the resignation of Guilfoyle. “We have asked Ambassador Guilfoyle to resign. She has been a wonderful asset to the team and we wish her well,” Zacharia said in an unusually brief debut in the briefing room. Along with recent allegations about her dealings with a campaign donor, Guilfoyle, who was once engaged to Donald Trump Jr. and was a major player in the MAGA Movement, racked up a [reputation](https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/04/world/europe/kimberly-guilfoyle-trump-greece-ambassador.html) for hard partying in Athens and living large as Trump’s personal rep in the region. "These allegations are false, and I intend to vigorously defend my name, my reputation, and my integrity," Guilfoyle said in her post. "I have dedicated my professional life to fighting for justice, standing up for what is right, and defending the values that make America exceptional. I will not allow false accusations to define my decades of public service." Guilfoyle is a former prosecutor and television personality. She and Trump Jr. broke off their engagement last year, months before the Senate confirmed her to be the United States’ top representative to Greece. She was previously married to California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who is widely seen as a 2028 contender for the Democratic nomination for President. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/article/2026/10/13/trump-has-asked-guilfoyle-to-resign-says-new-white-house-press-secretary/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/article/2026/10/13/trump-has-asked-guilfoyle-to-resign-says-new-white-house-press-secretary/"},"headline":"Guilfoyle Resigns at Trump's Request Following Credit Card Scandal","datePublished":"2026-10-13T14:52:45.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-13T15:32:07.000Z","description":"The announcement follows allegations Guilfoyle asked a political donor to pay a $100,000 personal credit card bill","url":"https://time.com/article/2026/10/13/trump-has-asked-guilfoyle-to-resign-says-new-white-house-press-secretary/","keywords":["Trump Administration"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9229870d8abd43c9/6ace507e5c679ed2d66fd027/GettyImages-2284841241.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Philip Elliott","jobTitle":"Senior Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/philip-elliott/"},{"@type":"Person","name":"Nik Popli","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/nik-popli/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9229870d8abd43c9/6ace507e5c679ed2d66fd027/GettyImages-2284841241.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"GettyImages-2284841241.jpg","caption":"","creditText":"Laurent Hou / Hans Lucas / AFP via Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/trump-administration/","name":"Trump Administration"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/article/2026/10/13/trump-has-asked-guilfoyle-to-resign-says-new-white-house-press-secretary/","name":"Guilfoyle Resigns at Trump's Request Following Credit Card Scandal"}}]}] ```
