What happened

Well supportedReported by 7 independent outlets

Donald Trump and Marco Rubio are considering the dismissal of Kimberly Guilfoyle, who served as U.S. Ambassador to Greece. The potential firing stems from reports that Guilfoyle solicited $100,000 from a Trump donor in exchange for administration access. This access was allegedly used to promote business interests and facilitate lobbying for a Greek energy company.
