Kimberly Guilfoyle was fired as ambassador to Greece in October 2026 after soliciting a donor to pay off a $100,000 Amex bill. She resigned less than an hour after the White House said she was asked to step down, amid a State Department pay-to-play investigation. Reporting also says the administration fears she holds a burn book of Trump family insider information. The discussion treats the firing as a rare explicit line in an administration otherwise tolerant of self-dealing, with the burn book and the investigation now the open questions.
