Former Fox News executive Ken LaCorte has accused his former employer of journalistic malpractice for failing to report on corruption allegations against Kimberly Guilfoyle, who is now the US ambassador to Greece. LaCorte, who previously led FoxNews.com, stated that the network made a conscious decision to ignore the story, which he claimed had been reported worldwide by major news outlets.
Guilfoyle is accused of seeking financial favors, including a $100,000 credit card bailout from political donor Eric Deters, in exchange for government access. She allegedly promoted the interests of a Greek construction company and allowed its lobbyists to attend diplomatic meetings. Guilfoyle has denied the allegations. A senior US official told the Associated Press that President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio were angered by the allegations and considering her dismissal.
Disagreement on reporting
Ken LaCorte stated that Fox News had not mentioned Kimberly Guilfoyle in an article since December 10, 2024, the day her nomination as ambassador was announced.

RadarOnline reported that following LaCorte's statement, Fox News did cover the scandal, focusing on the possibility of her dismissal.
