What BBN said about it

  1. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThe White House has asked Kimberly Guilfoyle to resign as U.S. ambassador to Greece, and press secretary Katie Zacharia announced it at her first briefing, which was on a Tuesday.

  2. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorShe reportedly asked a Trump donor to cover a hundred thousand dollars of American Express charges in return for connections to people inside the administration, and she insists none of it happened.

  3. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe statement calls her a wonderful asset to the team and says they wish her well.

  4. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI've had breakups with less warmth than that, and I'd frame that letter.

  5. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorA hundred thousand dollars on one card? That's a lot of points.

  6. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe donor would have gotten the points, and the access was the sign-up bonus.

  7. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorTrump told reporters he didn't like what he read.

  8. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo she was a wonderful asset, and now the balance is due. Brock, is it at least sunny in Athens?
