Guilfoyle told Greek businessman ‘I’m going to make you a lot of f—ing money’: Report

  • President Donald Trump is considering firing Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle amid corruption allegations, The Wall Street Journal reported Saturday. Administration officials are discussing her removal, with a decision expected soon.
  • An audio recording reviewed by The Journal reveals Guilfoyle boasting about private jet travel funded by Greek tycoons Alexandros Exarchou, chief executive of Aktor Group, and Nikolas Tsakos. She allegedly encouraged regional governments to do business with Exarchou.
  • After being excluded from a dinner for Eric Trump, Guilfoyle expressed fury and demanded an American businessman help her gain entry. She eventually secured a seat, though the chairwoman of Greek House Davos, Irene Vantaraki, noted she left early.
  • Signal texts showed Guilfoyle asking Trump donor Eric Deters for $100,000 to settle credit card debt in exchange for administration access. The U.S. Embassy in Athens insisted she 'faithfully followed State Department ethics and gift reporting guidelines' regarding the allegations.
  • Trump claimed Friday that he knew little about the controversy, though administration officials weigh her future amid reports of alleged pressure on governments from Bulgaria to Albania to facilitate business deals. The situation underscores ethics concerns surrounding her ambassadorship.
