AP reported on Trump's plans to dismiss the ambassador to Greece over the extortion case.

US President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are considering firing the US Ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle, amid reports of possible violations on her part. This was reported by the Associated Press on October 12.

According to media reports, a final decision on Guilfoyle's fate may be made in the coming days. The reason for discussing her resignation was publications about the diplomat's possible inappropriate behavior, including allegations of a request to a Trump supporter to pay a $100,000 credit card bill in exchange for access to representatives of the US administration.

Guilfoyle's lawyers deny violations. The lawyers stated that the requested funds were payments for previously rendered services and public appearances, and the diplomat's trips on private planes were carried out in compliance with the requirements of the State Department.

Also on September 30, The Washington Post columnist Theodore R. Johnson reported that Trump might consider resigning Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth after the midterm elections, but changing the head of the Pentagon would not eliminate the consequences of his work. According to the author, after possible personnel changes, the Pentagon will have to restore professional standards.
