Leaked audio reviewed by the Wall Street Journal captures U.S. ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle ranting after learning she was not on the guest list for a dinner organized by Greek House Davos with Eric Trump. In the recording she allegedly says, “You don’t have the f****** U.S. ambassador to Greece not come. She should be kissing my f****** ass,” and later claims she can deliver “the world” and make “a lot of f****** money” for the organizer.

Organisers said Guilfoyle eventually left the event early, describing the incident as a “small crisis” that disappointed several high‑profile guests, according to chairwoman Irene Vantaraki. The audio follows earlier reporting that Guilfoyle allegedly sought $100,000 from donor Eric Deters in exchange for help with a tax inquiry, a claim her lawyer has denied. The State Department’s Office of the Inspector General is also probing whether she received gifts or favors from private businessmen during her tenure.
