What happened
Donald Trump and Marco Rubio are considering the dismissal of Kimberly Guilfoyle, the U.S. Ambassador to Greece, after reports of improper and possibly illegal conduct surfaced. Allegations include soliciting $100,000 from a Trump donor for access to administration officials and promoting business interests for a Greek energy company. Kimberly Guilfoyle's lawyer has stated that she did nothing wrong, while the U.S. embassy in Athens has tacitly expressed support for her.

Why it matters
The allegations involve Guilfoyle offering to use her influence inside the administration in return for payment of a large credit card bill, and her boasting about ties to Greek tycoons. This situation raises concerns about diplomatic risk for U.S.-Greece ties and potential financial exposure related to her personal debt.
Kimberly Guilfoyle served as Donald Trump's ambassador to Greece, while George Conway criticized Trump's Justice Department.
