Trump asks U.S. ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle to resign over allegations

President Donald Trump asked Kimberly Guilfoyle, the U.S. ambassador to Greece, to resign after reports alleged she sought $100,000 from a Trump supporter to pay personal credit card debt and accepted luxury trips and hotel stays from wealthy Greek businessmen. Other reports alleged she offered access to administration officials in exchange for money.

The White House announced the decision on Tuesday. New White House press secretary Katie Zacharia said Guilfoyle had been asked to resign, and Trump had said a day earlier that he was “looking at” firing her.

Guilfoyle denied wrongdoing and vowed to defend her reputation.

Federal judge extends block on Trump ban of three news outlets

U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly extended an order blocking the Trump administration from barring journalists from CNN, MS NOW and Politico from White House grounds while a media coalition’s lawsuit proceeds. Kelly, a Trump appointee, found the administration’s revocation of the outlets’ hard passes likely violated their First and Fifth Amendment rights and that the outlets have reasonable grounds to believe they will win the case. The ruling preserves access but does not resolve all of the outlets’ access problems.

Federal agents search Representative Ilhan Omar's Washington home

Federal agents searched the Washington residence of Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar as part of an ongoing federal criminal investigation. Reports said the inquiry centers on immigration paperwork submitted by her late father when she was a child.

The search took place within 60 days of the midterm elections, when the Justice Department has historically avoided overt investigative steps involving political candidates. Omar called the action an attempt to weaponize federal law enforcement and the latest escalation in President Trump’s intimidation campaign, saying she would not be silenced. Trump had said in January that the department was investigating her.

Saudi-Houthi clashes escalate across airports and energy sites

A suspected Houthi strike on Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport killed 12 people and wounded more than 300, Saudi authorities said. The dead included Saudi, Bangladeshi, Palestinian, U.S., Egyptian, Jordanian, Syrian and Sudanese nationals. Operations at the airport were suspended after the attack, which was the second on the facility in two days.

The Saudi-led coalition vowed retaliation and subsequently struck a strategic oil depot on the outskirts of Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, warning civilians to evacuate beforehand. Houthi media reported the attack on the Yemen Oil Company facility, and the rebels warned they would target Saudi airports and the energy giant Aramco.

Saudi Arabia said it intercepted Houthi missiles targeting Riyadh and Dhahran, with falling debris injuring at least four people in Riyadh. President Trump said the United States could join Saudi strikes against the Houthis and is considering U.S. military action against the Iran-backed group.
