The White House said it has asked US Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle to resign from her post following allegations of unethical conduct.

President Donald Trump, speaking to reporters on Tuesday, indicated that she would be leaving.

“I didn’t speak to her, no — but she will not be there. I didn’t like what I read,” Trump said. White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia told reporters earlier she had been asked to resign.

Guilfoyle, a Trump appointee, came under scrutiny in a series of reports by the Wall Street Journal alleging she solicited or accepted money, travel and other benefits from private individuals while using — or offering to use — her access to US officials and her diplomatic position to advance their interests.

President Donald Trump’s deal with Moscow on its diesel exports and his praise for Vladimir Putin are just the latest in a string of Russia-related news that has sparked public criticisms from Republicans weeks ahead of a midterm election that increasingly favors Democrats.

Trump has said he is working with the Russian president to release the country’s diesel supplies into global markets, upending years of sanctions in a bid to ease fuel prices before the Nov. 3 elections. The move has prompted European officials to warn that increasing Russia’s diesel sales will boost Moscow’s war effort in Ukraine.

President Donald Trump is establishing a committee to investigate mortgage fraud allegations against Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook and is forcing her to appear at a White House hearing to defend herself, a dramatic escalation in his efforts to oust her from her role.

The White House shared a memorandum dated Wednesday from Trump to establish the committee.

“As President, it is my job to ensure the laws are faithfully executed, including by firing subordinates who cannot be trusted to tell the truth and follow the law,” Trump said in the memo. He said the committee would investigate whether there is “cause” for Cook’s removal following a Supreme Court decision in June that allowed her to remain in her role while she fought an earlier attempt to fire her.
