Guilfoyle steps down after allegations of corruption

President Trump's new press secretary making her debut in the White House briefing room this morning. Conservative commentator Katie Zachariah is stepping in at a time when Trump faces mounting political backlash over the economy and the war with Iran. Zachariah's predecessor, Caroline Leavitt, departed for family reasons and is now an outside advisor to the president. Zachariah begins her new job at a critical time three weeks before the midterm elections, which could determine just how effective Trump could be in his final two years in office. I want to thank President Trump for his trust that he has placed in me. I have wanted to work for him for a very long time. I'm looking forward to working with each of you as well, especially as we are in... Regardless of the election results in November, Zachariah is expected to stay on as press secretary until the end of Trump's term. And during her first White House press briefing, Katie Zachariah announced that the White House asked U.S. Ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle to resign. And soon after, Guilfoyle did just that. She resigned. As Fox's Rebecca Castor tells us, Guilfoyle has been embroiled in a corruption scandal. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and now former U.S. Ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle may have been all smiles during his visit to Greece last week, but now she's been called home after mounting allegations of misconduct on the job. We have asked Ambassador Guilfoyle to resign. Guilfoyle's firing follows a scathing report in the Wall Street Journal accusing her of trying to trade access to the Trump administration for $100,000 to pay off a credit card bill. Guilfoyle, who was once engaged to the president's oldest son, has been in Trump's political orbit since 2018. She's fighting these allegations, but her political career with MAGA has likely reached its end. She wasn't a member of my family. She, I guess, dated my son a long time ago, but she wasn't. No, she went to Greece. She was doing a good job, but we didn't like what we were reading. On X, Guilfoyle says, I intend to vigorously defend my name, my reputation, and my integrity. I will not allow false accusations to define my decades of public service. She's also been accused of accepting improper gifts, mistreating employees, and promoting the interests of a Greek construction company. She's the tip of the corruption iceberg in this administration but she's got to go. The State Department Inspector General is investigating these allegations. There's no indication who might replace Guilfoyle but it's a critical position as Greece leads a naval mission protecting commercial shipping in the Red Sea.
