State Department Investigates Allegations Against US Ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle in Athens
Complaints detail alleged tyrannical leadership and lavish perks at the U.S. Embassy in Athens.
The State Department has launched an official investigation into complaints concerning the leadership and alleged perks of U.S. Ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle at the U.S. Embassy in Athens, Greece. The inquiry follows leaked messages and reports of late-night demands.
Sources familiar with the situation describe Guilfoyle's tenure as allegedly "tyrannical." The complaints reportedly focus on her leadership style and the lavish benefits she has purportedly enjoyed while stationed in the Mediterranean. Specific allegations include demands made at unusual hours, with some reports mentioning requests occurring as late as 4 a.m.
Guilfoyle, a former advisor to President Trump and his ex-daughter-in-law, has been the U.S. Ambassador to Greece since her appointment. She resides in Jefferson House, the ambassador's villa located in Athens' exclusive Kolonaki neighborhood.
Embassy staff and foreign diplomats have reportedly been treading carefully around Guilfoyle, who is said to make no secret of her direct line to the Oval Office. Guilfoyle herself was not present to take questions regarding the investigations during a recent event in Greece.
This investigation into Guilfoyle's conduct comes amid broader scrutiny of diplomatic appointments and operations abroad. The State Department has not released a formal statement regarding the specifics of the inquiry.
