The White House has asked Kimberly Guilfoyle to resign from her position as US ambassador to Greece after a string of reports about alleged misconduct, the new press secretary said Tuesday.
Her ouster comes following reports that she sought money in exchange for providing access to administration figures before she was confirmed, accepted lavish gifts as ambassador and brought a lobbyist for a Greek construction company into official meetings.
Lawyers for Guilfoyle have denied the allegations about seeking money and said reports about her travel were misleading, adding that she complied with federal gift and reporting requirements.
CNN has reached out to Guilfoyle’s lawyers about the White House’s announcement.

白宫新任新闻秘书周二表示，在一系列有关金伯利·吉尔福伊尔涉嫌行为不端的报道之后，白宫已要求她辞去美国驻希腊大使一职。
此前有报道称，她在获得任命前曾索要钱财以换取接触政府官员的机会，担任大使期间接受了贵重礼物，并将一家希腊建筑公司的说客带入官方会议。
吉尔福伊尔的律师否认了有关她索要钱财的指控，并表示有关她旅行的报道具有误导性，还补充说她遵守了联邦礼品和报告要求。
CNN已就白宫的声明联系了吉尔福伊尔的律师。
