Trump weighs firing Ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle over misconduct reports

President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are weighing whether to dismiss US ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle after reports of improper conduct.

• Guilfoyle denied sending text messages in which a Trump donor said she asked him to wire $100,000 to pay her credit card before her confirmation.
• A US official said the State Department's inspector general is looking into allegations that Guilfoyle accepted improper gifts and offered access to officials for payment.
• Trump said he had just heard about the allegations and knew little about them.
• Vance said he opposed selling access to government officials and that any wrongdoing should carry consequences.
• A senior US official said Trump and Rubio are 'very angry' and will likely decide Guilfoyle's fate this week.
• New reports allege Guilfoyle threatened a host-country official during her posting in Athens.
• Guilfoyle's lawyer flatly denied any wrongdoing and rejected the allegations leveled against the ambassador.
• Rubio, who praised Guilfoyle during a recent trip to Athens, declined to comment on the allegations against her.
• Democratic lawmakers called on officials to investigate Guilfoyle's reported misconduct and her misuse of influence.
• Guilfoyle's lawyers said the disputed $100,000 was payment for services she had rendered previously.
