U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle, once a top campaign surrogate for Donald Trump, has resigned 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.

She also addressed “recent allegations against me,” writing, “These allegations are false, and I intend to vigorously defend my name, my reputation, and my integrity.”

Guilfoyle’s post came shortly after new White House press secretary Katie Zacharia told reporters that Guilfoyle had been asked to step down.

    It was for a trifling $100k? Elon’s midterm donations are almost 4x that. Go big or go home.

      This was only one of the people that *has talked about it.

      • There’s guaranteed to be more
      • He already gave 300k, and offered a million if she could get the taxes things worked out
      • He is as dumb as a bag of rocks. He admitted the bribe because she wasn’t following through with her promises.
