Trump and Rubio weigh firing Kimberly Guilfoyle after reports of…

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorHere's the one-sentence version: President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are considering firing the U.S. ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle.

2. 

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentConsidering. So she still has the job right now.

3. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorShe does. Nothing has been decided, and that word matters. A senior U.S. official told the Guardian that both men are extremely pissed off.

4. 

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentExtremely. That's the official scientific unit.

5. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThe Guardian says this follows a series of reports alleging improper and possibly illegal conduct, before and during her time in Athens.

6. 

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentAlleged. Nobody's proven anything yet, right?

7. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorRight. These are allegations in reports, and the details from here are not all clear. Fox News adds that donor bailout allegations are mounting.

8. 

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentMounting. Like laundry.

9. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorAnd the Associated Press, citing a source, frames it as the two weighing a firing over mounting reports of improper conduct.

10. 

    Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSame story, three flavors. The Guardian leads with the anger, Fox with the money, the AP with the source.

11. 

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThat's a good way to put it. An ambassador is the president's personal representative in a country, so the job depends on trust.

12. 

    Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSo who feels this? Besides her.

13. 

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorMostly the embassy in Athens, the State Department, and anyone in Greece dealing with the U.S. day to day.

14. 

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorIt's not clear yet who would step in.

15. 

    Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentMeanwhile I'd just email the embassy, but I guess you'd drive over and stand outside.

16. 

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorI'd bring a muffin, Kenji. People talk when there's a muffin.

17. 

    Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentWhat does each side say?

18. 

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorCritics say if the reports hold up, she should go quickly. Supporters would say these are allegations, and she deserves to answer them first.

19. 

    Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentHas she responded?

20. 

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorNot in the information we have.

21. 

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSo watch for a statement from her, a word from the White House, or an announcement from the State Department.

22. 

    Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentAnd if the reports turn out to be wrong?

23. 

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThen the weighing stops, and she keeps the job. Nothing is final until someone actually announces it.

24. 

    Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSo the one-sentence version is: two powerful people are mad, and the paperwork hasn't caught up.

25. 

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorPerfect. That's the whole story, and I'd still like to hear it in person.
