WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
  • Trump demanded and received Kimberly Guilfoyle’s resignation as ambassador to Greece following allegations involving money for favors and gifted travel.
  • Sources believe Guilfoyle may avoid attacking Trump and his family because she could need a pardon.
  • Guilfoyle denied the allegations and pledged continued loyalty to Trump and the America First movement.
  • Questions remain about a $100,000 credit card bill, luxury travel, possible investigations, and potential legal expenses.

President Trump’s ousted ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle, is unlikely to publicly attack Trump or his family because she may need a pardon over the scandal that ended her diplomatic tenure, sources told The Post.

Trump demanded and received Guilfoyle’s resignation following allegations that she solicited money for favors and accepted gifted travel from Greek businessmen. Guilfoyle, known for emotional outbursts and diva demands, has denied wrongdoing.

“She’s gonna need a pardon and if she doesn’t behave she ain’t getting one,” a person close to the White House and Trump family said shortly after her resignation.

A second person close to the White House offered similarly blunt advice as questions surrounded Guilfoyle’s future and the possibility of criminal investigations. “If I were her, I’d probably shut up and hope for it,” the person said.

Guilfoyle dated Donald Trump Jr. from early 2018 until late 2024. That relationship gave her access to some of the Trump family’s most private conversations and dealings, potentially making her a star witness against the president if congressional Democrats win the midterms on Nov. 3.

Trump publicly distanced himself from Guilfoyle on Tuesday afternoon. “She wasn’t a member of my family. She, I guess, dated my son a long time ago,” he told reporters.

In her farewell statement, Guilfoyle rejected the accusations and pledged to fight them. “These allegations are false, and I intend to vigorously defend my name, my reputation, and my integrity,” she wrote.

“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.”

Trump nominated Guilfoyle to become ambassador to Greece shortly after her engagement to Donald Trump Jr. ended. One person close to the family described the nomination as a “soft landing,” but her conduct in office eventually crossed a line for the president.

Sources said another such landing is unlikely following her removal from the diplomatic post. They said clemency may be the best outcome she can hope for as she faces the potential burden of criminal investigations, expensive legal bills, and possible penalties.

A third source close to the White House and familiar with Guilfoyle’s record agreed that the possibility of a pardon could restrain her. That person, however, said Guilfoyle’s personality may make silence difficult.

“Kim is a well-known and world-class fabulist. She is definitely emotional… and could also just say a bunch of crazy stuff,” the source said.

The same source disputed the idea that Guilfoyle possesses a vast collection of damaging information about the Trump family. “There is a presumption she has all this dirt that honestly she doesn’t,” he said.

“It’s Kim, so she can make stuff up obviously, but she’s not exactly a reliable narrator.”

The facts surrounding the controversies tied to Guilfoyle’s diplomatic role remain unclear. Her allies have offered explanations for some of the conduct under scrutiny, including the allegation that she asked businessman Eric Deters to cover a $100,000 credit card bill in exchange for favors.

Guilfoyle has told people the $100,000 was an unpaid speaking fee. It remains unclear how the alleged failure to pay that fee could affect her legal liability.

Questions also remain about her allegedly self described free luxury travel from foreign tycoons, including how that travel intersected with her government position. It is also unclear whether she followed through on reported pledges to make people who assisted her wealthy.

“Whatever the case, it certainly will be looked at, which would likely be a huge process and a lot of legal fees,” the second source said, adding that “she knows well from Jan. 6” how punishing criminal investigations can become.

Guilfoyle, the former wife of California Gov. Gavin Newsom, devoted much of her resignation statement to declaring continued loyalty to Trump. “While my time as Ambassador may be coming to an end, my commitment to President Trump, the America First movement, and the country I love will never end,” she wrote.

She ended her statement with another pledge of support. “God bless President Trump, God bless our incredible diplomats and service members, and God bless the United States of America.”
