Guilfoyle's appointment to Greece was believed to suggest to officials in the country that she had enormous influence in Washington, given her perceived closeness to Trump.

According to the Associated Press, she started her former role in Athens last year in November as the country pursued a massive defense modernization program.
Guilfoyle's posting coincided with cooperation between Greece and the United States, putting her in a high-profile role.
However, she was subsequently removed following the allegations that emerged against her. Deputy chief of mission and experienced diplomat Josh Huck was given her responsibilities.

The officials saw the situation as a "matter concerning the United States," but their silence was criticized by opposition parties, with one lawmaker seeing the situation as "an issue of national dignity."

The allegations that led to her resignation as ambassador revolved around a request for $100,000 meant to pay off her American Express credit card debt shortly before her Senate confirmation hearing in 2025.
The lump sum was allegedly expected to be wired by Deters after he was asked by Guilfoyle, who promised to be his "ride or die in Trump world" if he gave in to her request.

Deters' relationship with Guilfoyle had supposedly gotten stronger after she was made the ambassador to Greece.
He reportedly sought her help with tax and legal issues and had discussed payments if she helped him reach Trump administration officials like Pam Bondi and Billy Long, as well as the IRS commissioner.
Guilfoyle's lawyer has challenged the authenticity of the correspondence and Deter's allegations, insisting that his client has done nothing wrong.
