President Donald Trump is weighing whether to dismiss Kimberly Guilfoyle as U.S. ambassador to Greece as reports of alleged misconduct draw scrutiny from senior administration officials.
Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are expected to consider their next steps this week, according to a senior U.S. official cited by the Associated Press.
The report's concern claims that Guilfoyle accepted lavish gifts while serving as ambassador and sought money from a political donor in return for access to senior administration figures before a Senate confirmation.
Eric Deters, a former Trump donor, has said Guilfoyle asked him by text to wire her $100,000 to pay an American Express bill in the days before her confirmation hearing.
Guilfoyle's lawyer disputed the authenticity of the messages, and a person familiar with the matter told CNN that Guilfoyle denied sending them to administration officials.
The claims have also prompted questions about her diplomatic activities in Greece.
In an October 1 letter to Rubio, Representative Gregory Meeks, the senior Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, cited reports that Guilfoyle promoted the interests of a Greek construction and energy company during official engagements and allowed a registered lobbyist for the company to join meetings with government officials.
Meeks called for her removal if the allegations proved accurate.
Though he described Guilfoyle as, "...always very nice." Vice President J.D.
Vance said he was uncomfortable with officials selling access, but cautioned against judging the case before the facts were established.
Guilfoyle, who was engaged to Trump's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., for four years, has remained close to the Trump family.
The reports have raised the prospect of political consequences, but Trump has not announced a decision, and the allegations remain disputed.
