Trump Resigns Ambassador Over Alleged Bribery, Media Access Battle Continues

Filed · 3 publisher pages · upstream origin unresolved

White House official Kimberly Guilfoyle resigns after allegations of improper conduct, following Trump's decision to remove her. The move comes as the administration faces a legal challenge over media access restrictions.

Guilfoyle, ambassador to Greece, is accused of accepting a $100,000 credit card payment from a political donor in exchange for access to senior officials. She denied the allegations, vowing to defend her integrity and continue supporting Trump.

A federal judge has blocked Trump's ban on CNN, MS Now, and Politico, allowing journalists access to the White House. The judge ruled the outlets likely succeed in their First Amendment claims.

The resignation of Guilfoyle and the legal battle over media access highlight tensions within the administration and ongoing scrutiny of Trump's policies and personnel decisions.
