President Donald Trump has admitted he’s unhappy with Kimberly Guilfoyle—and isn’t ruling out firing his son’s former fiancée as U.S. ambassador to Greece.
Trump, 80, was asked at the White House on Monday whether he was considering canning Guilfoyle.
“Well, we’re looking at it,” he said. “Yeah, we’re not happy.”
Guilfoyle, 57, allegedly asked MAGA donor Eric Deters to pay off her $100,000 American Express bill in exchange for access to Trumpworld figures, The Wall Street Journal reported last week.
Guilfoyle, who was engaged to Donald Trump Jr. from 2020 through 2024, also faces a State Department inspector general probe into allegations involving improper gifts, private travel, and other conduct, the Daily Mail reported.
Earlier Monday, it was reported that Trump was “looking to replace” Guilfoyle and that senior administration officials were “p---ed off.”
“If she survives this, she’s officially beaten ‘Trump World’ in legendary mode, defeated the final boss and unlocked an achievement no previous player thought was possible,” a source told the New York Post.
The Associated Press also reported that Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio had considered firing Guilfoyle.
The State Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Beast.
A U.S. Embassy spokesperson responded to last week’s Journal report by saying that “Guilfoyle’s career in and out of public service is guided by deep and abiding values.”
“The bipartisan Senate Foreign Relations Committee fully vetted her, and the U.S. Senate confirmed her. The Ambassador remains committed to representing the American people with dedication and integrity,” the spokesperson added.
The allegations, which critics argue amount to a possible pay-for-play scheme, have prompted Democrats on the House Oversight Committee to request documents from Guilfoyle.
“This alleged misconduct raises serious public corruption and national security concerns,” California Rep. Robert Garcia wrote to the ambassador in a letter. “If Trump Administration officials can be bought by donors, the American people suffer the consequences of corrupt leaders more concerned with their own enrichment than the public good and vulnerable to blackmail by foreign intelligence services.”
Deters has said in interviews that Guilfoyle’s $100,000 request “absolutely was a quid pro quo.”
Guilfoyle allegedly wanted Deters to pay the American Express bill off the books.
“It won’t show up anywhere if you wire money to American Express,” Guilfoyle texted Deters, according to the Journal. “Please.”
In another message shared with the Journal, she allegedly wrote: “Honey please I need you to get this done for me today. You could just send it here.”
Deters did not make the payment, telling Guilfoyle that doing so would end his marriage, and that he had paid her $300,000 over the years but had “not received one favor.”
Separately, Guilfoyle has been accused of being “tyrannical” toward her staff in Greece and threatening to use the “Trump card” if they object.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Trump made his comments on Guilfoyle before heading to a midterm campaign rally in Youngstown, Ohio, to support Sen. Jon Husted and gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, both of whom face stiff competition.
