Page by U.S. Mission Greece dated October 15, 2026, read October 16 in the built-in browser (a plain fetch from the production host was refused). Reopened October 19, 2026: the embassy home page still lists Josh Huck as Chargé d’affaires, a.i. under U.S. Mission Leaders. It says Josh Huck is the Chargé d’affaires, a.i. at the U.S. Embassy in Athens and gives his career background; the embassy home page the same day lists him, not an ambassador, under U.S. Mission Leaders. Neither page mentions Kimberly Guilfoyle’s departure or its reason.

Read October 15, 2026 (UTC), with the committee Democrats’ release of October 14.

This is a minority-party committee document, not an executive-branch record of the resignation; the release’s characterizations are the committee Democrats’ own.
