Why it matters
The resignation of a high-profile political appointee due to ethical scandals impacts diplomatic relations and administration credibility.
U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle, once a top campaign surrogate for President Donald Trump, has resigned at the behest of the White House amid a misconduct probe. “Serving as the United States Ambassador to Greece has been the honor of a lifetime,” Guilfoyle said Tuesday in a post on X announcing her resignation.
