Política · Ética de embaixadoresCasa Branca pede renúncia de Guilfoyle. As dúvidas sobre o dinheiro permanecem.Escrito 13 de outubro de 2026 às 20:31 UTCAssistirTranscrição0:07On October 9th, we reported Democrats sought records.0:10Now the White House wants Guilfoyle's resignation.0:13The decision puts America's ambassador to Greece on the way out.0:16After a donor alleged she offered access for money.0:19Guilfoyle denies misconduct.0:21What will her departure resolve and what still needs investigating?0:24Kimberly Guilfoyle faces an official request to leave her diplomatic post.0:28The administration has decided she should go, while she continues to reject the0:32accusations involving Trump donor Eric Duterz.0:34The White House announced its decision on October 13th during Press Secretary Katie0:38Zachariah's first briefing.0:40Zachariah offered praise alongside the request, but didn't explain why the0:44administration wanted Guilfoyle to leave.0:46Zachariah said, We have asked Ambassador Guilfoyle to resign.0:50She has been a wonderful asset to the team, and we wish her well.0:53She gave no departure deadline or replacement.0:56Donald Trump had said the previous day that he was considering firing Guilfoyle.1:00He told reporters, we're looking at it and we're not happy.1:03Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio had reportedly been weighing her removal.1:08Rubio had praised Guilfoyle and the embassy in Athens on October 8th.1:12He said he hadn't seen the material and didn't know whether it was true.1:15The administration's decision to seek her departure followed that earlier public1:19defense.1:20Guilfoyle reportedly resigned on October 13th.1:23Her personal statement didn't explicitly say she'd submitted a resignation and her1:26effective departure date still isn't clear.1:28Guilfoyle called the misconduct allegations false and said she'd vigorously defend1:33herself.1:33She described serving as ambassador as something that has been the honor of a1:37lifetime and thanked Trump and Rubio.1:40The disputed request concerns her nomination period.1:43Deterrez alleges she wanted him to pay an American Express bill before the Senate1:46had confirmed her appointment.1:48The alleged signal request was dated July 3rd, 2025, six days before her July 9th1:53nomination hearing.1:54The Senate confirmed Guilfoyle on September 18th by a vote of 51 to 47.1:59Dieters calls the request a quid pro quo, meaning money in exchange for a benefit.2:04He says he understood that paying could secure access to senior Trump administration2:08or White House officials.2:09Dieters alleges Guilfoyle asked him for $100,000 toward her American Express bill.2:15He says he refused to pay that amount and says he received no favor in return.2:18Dieters describes an offer of loyalty using the phrase ride or die in Trump world.2:24He also describes possible access or help with legal and tax problems.2:28His description of an exchange remains an accusation.2:31Dieters says Guilfoyle wanted the money wired directly to American Express.2:36The disputed wording includes, it won't show up anywhere if you wire money to2:40American Express.2:41Her lawyer challenges the message's authenticity.2:44Another disputed message says, Honey, please, I need you to get this done for me2:48today.2:49Dieters supplied messages containing an alleged same-day request and wire2:53instructions.2:54The claim about leaving no trace is itself part of the disputed wording.2:58The texts have also been described as authentic.3:01Guilfoyle's lawyer, Jesse Binal, disputes that.3:04Their authenticity and full context remain contested, alongside the question of what3:08the requested money was for.3:10Guilfoyle's legal team denies improper conduct and says she was collecting3:14outstanding speaking and consulting fees.3:16Other explanations have included travel expenses and reimbursements.3:20Dieters rejects the suggestion that he owed her the requested money.3:23Dieters says he'd already paid Guilfoyle to appear at Patriots Day Freedom Fest.3:27In an October 9th interview, he described three appearances and three separate3:30payments.3:31Those earlier payments are his account.3:33Dieters says he paid $300,000 for three appearances in three $100,0003:38installments.3:39He says he refused another $100,000 Amex request.3:43He separately describes a conditional $1 million offer after the 2024 festival.3:48He says that million-dollar offer concerned his campaign to have Dr.3:52Atik Durrani extradited from Pakistan.3:54Deterz says payment would come when the matter was resolved and that he never paid3:58it.3:58A separate allegation connects a proposed benefit to access to IRS Commissioner4:03Billy Long during a probe into Deterrez's tax deductions.4:06It also alleges Gil Foyle contacted Long about Deterz's case.4:10Whether that contact happened or led to any IRS action is still unclear.4:15The terms of the alleged million-dollar offer also remain unsettled, including how4:19it relates to the later Amex request.4:21Dieterz says he went public partly because the administration hadn't helped patients4:24he represents and partly to draw attention to his extradition campaign.4:28In one interview, he described retaliation for that failure.4:31The White House's decision changes who represents the United States in Athens.4:35The disputed money for access claim concerns how a nominee might have used4:39connections to officials in Washington before taking that post.4:42The State Department's watchdog is reportedly investigating.4:45On October 11th, an official said it was looking into the allegations.4:48By October 13th, an investigation was being described while Deterrez said the office4:53hadn't contacted him.4:54The Inspector General hasn't publicly explained the inquiry's scope or confirmed4:58when a formal investigation began.4:59Duterze's lack of contact leaves those questions open.5:02Former Ambassador Jeff Flake argued that financial disclosures and vulnerability to5:06blackmail matter when vetting ambassadors.5:09His comments describe the risks officials should examine when choosing someone to5:12represent the country abroad.5:14Robert Garcia sought Guilfoyle's financial records and communications with5:17administration officials in an October 8 letter.5:20Garcia, Gregory Meeks, and Gina Shaheen have called for investigation.5:24Garcia acted as House Oversight's ranking Democrat.5:27Garcia's letter described an alleged $100,000 demand for senior official access and5:32a promised $1 million payoff later.5:35Those descriptions belong to the Democrats' request for records.5:38They haven't become committee findings.5:40The administration has settled the immediate personnel question by asking Guilfoyle5:44to leave.5:45Whether the disputed request concerned legitimate professional fees or money for5:49government access still needs resolving.5:51Dieters says he declined the Amex payment and received no favor.5:54Dieters says he intends to sue Guilfoyle and her lawyers for defamation.5:59Although whether he'll file is still unclear, he also says two lawmakers contacted6:03him and that he planned to speak with them on October 14th.Ler
