Live updates: Trump asks Guilfoyle to quit ambassador post, as she denies allegations

In her second day on the job, White House press secretary Katie Zacharia told reporters that the White House has asked U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle to resign, following multiple reports that created a scandal surrounding her post.

President Trump, on departing the White House for Alaska, said about Guilfoyle, “I didn’t like what I read.”

In a post on her personal X account following the briefing, Guilfoyle denied the reported allegations: “These allegations are false, and I intend to vigorously defend my name, my reputation, and my integrity. I have dedicated my professional life to fighting for justice, standing up for what is right, and defending the values that make America exceptional. I will not allow false accusations to define my decades of public service,” she wrote.

A lawyer and former conservative commentator, Zacharia held her first briefing after joining the administration late last week.
