Former U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle reportedly has a “burn book” containing damaging information about President Donald Trump and his family, and administration insiders are fearing the worst, according to the Daily Mail.
White House press secretary Katie Zacharia announced on Tuesday that Guilfoyle had been asked to resign. “We have asked Ambassador Guilfoyle to resign,” Zacharia said at a briefing. “She has been a wonderful asset to the team, and we wish her well.”
The move followed a series of Wall Street Journal reports, including that Guilfoyle asked a Trump donor to wire her $100,000 to cover a credit card bill before her confirmation hearing. Her lawyers have denied wrongdoing and said the money was payment for unpaid speaking engagements that predated her nomination.
The Mail reported that Trump advisers had worked behind the scenes to save Guilfoyle’s job, fearing she could return to the U.S. with an axe to grind and reveal Trump family secrets, according to insiders. Now that she has resigned, those insiders claim she kept a secret “burn book” documenting the Trumps and is threatening to release its contents, which they have dubbed “The Devil Wears MAGA,” the paper reported.
Guilfoyle, 57, was a fixture in Trump’s inner circle during a six-year relationship with Donald Trump Jr., the Mail reported, attending private gatherings and becoming privy to the family’s personal conversations.
“Having her back in America would be a nightmare. Kimberly knows where the bodies are buried. She knows the people, the secrets, the fights, the relationships,” one source told the Mail. “Nobody wants an angry Kimberly back home with nothing to lose.”
“Kimberly knows everything. She was way inside that family and political operation for years,” another insider told the paper.
A third source told the Mail: “Keeping Kimberly happy keeps Kimberly quiet.”
