White House fires Ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle after allegations she accepted bribes for access to administration officials. Trump ordered her resignation following reports of potential misconduct involving a political donor.
Guilfoyle confirmed her resignation, denying the allegations and vowing to defend her reputation. She cited her commitment to Trump and her public service. Trump reportedly criticized the allegations, though further investigation is pending.
A federal judge has blocked Trump's attempt to revoke access for major news outlets, citing constitutional concerns. The ruling highlights ongoing legal challenges to the administration's policies.
The White House has requested the Democratic-controlled House Oversight Committee to investigate Guilfoyle's conduct, underscoring the political ramifications of the scandal.
