It seems like each day brings a new passel of appointment announcements from the Trump-Vance Transition Team, and Tuesday is no exception. In addition to several other key appointments, President-elect Donald Trump announced that he was appointing Kimberly Guilfoyle as Ambassador to Greece.
Trump shared the announcement on Truth Social Tuesday evening:
Today, I am very pleased to announce the appointment of Kimberly Guilfoyle as the United States Ambassador to Greece. For many years, Kimberly has been a close friend and ally. Her extensive experience and leadership in law, media, and politics along with her sharp intellect make her supremely qualified to represent the United States, and safeguard its interests abroad.
Kimberly is perfectly suited to foster strong bilateral relations with Greece, advancing our interests on issues ranging from defense cooperation to trade and economic innovation.
Congratulations Kimberly!
Guilfoyle, 55, obtained her law degree from the University of San Francisco. She served as a prosecutor in San Francisco and then Los Angeles. She was married to California Governor Gavin Newsom in the early 2000s during his stint as mayor of San Francisco.
Guilfoyle later moved to New York and hosted a program on Court TV, as well as serving as a legal analyst on CNN before joining Fox News in 2006.

I’m honored to accept President Trump’s nomination to serve as the next Ambassador to Greece and I look forward to earning the support of the U.S. Senate.
President Trump’s historic victory is bringing hope and optimism to the American people and to freedom-loving allies across the world.
It was the democratic values born in Greece that helped shape the founding of America.
And now, we have an opportunity to honor that history by bringing better days here at home and abroad.
As ambassador, I look forward to delivering on the Trump agenda, supporting our Greek allies, and ushering in a new era of peace and prosperity.
