Kimberly Guilfoyle has until end of October to leave Athens residence: “She is all alone in that house”

Former U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle has been given until the end of the month to vacate the official residence provided by the State Department, and she is reportedly struggling with the situation, according to the Daily Mail.

Two sources familiar with the matter told the Mail that Guilfoyle, 57, must leave the Athens residence by the end of October. The paper says “her grip on power has been severed.” Three sources said she is weighing whether to stay in Europe rather than return to the United States.

“The people in the embassy are no longer afraid of her. Nobody is listening to her or taking her orders anymore,” a source in Greece told the Mail. “She is all alone in that house, screaming at her old staff that they are leakers, and waiting to get kicked out. It’s an insane situation.”

Guilfoyle resigned on Oct. 13 after the White House asked her to step down amid allegations of improper conduct, which she has denied. President Donald Trump has since said she “wasn’t part of my family,” adding, “I guess she dated my son.”

The Mail said Guilfoyle “desperately needed back-up” after it exclusively reported that the State Department had opened an investigation into claims that she oversaw a toxic, retaliation-driven workplace. The paper has reported that the probe also covers private jet travel and off-the-books funding of upgrades to the ambassador’s residence.

The Wall Street Journal reported that, before becoming ambassador, Guilfoyle pressured a donor to help pay off a $100,000 credit card bill. The Mail described the arrangement as being in exchange for access to the administration. Guilfoyle has called the accusations against her “false.”

According to the Mail, Guilfoyle told people close to her that she called Rupert Murdoch in an effort to have the Journal’s stories taken down, but he did not budge.

Leaving Greece “may not end her troubles,” the Mail reported. Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA), the ranking Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, said Wednesday that Democrats will continue investigating Guilfoyle even though she is now a private citizen.

Greek City Times, citing the Daily Mail’s reporting, said the office of Greek President Konstantinos Tasoulas “has no farewell visit planned” for her, a courtesy traditionally extended to departing ambassadors.
