Christos Marafatsos

Do they know that, uh, uh, that Kimberly Gargoyle, I think, is the only woman, the only woman ever to be bounced out of Fox News Radio Rwanda for sexual harassment? That she sent around, uh, dick pics asking other women, "Do you like this penis?" I mean, that's kinda uncouth.

Christos Marafatsos, and we confirmed that he had been using her classified phone.

Uh, he was the one who answered.

He-- At the end, uh, we received a rather nasty remark from him.

That's correct.

We mention a- we actually have mentioned his name.

There's a specific, uh, text message from her saying that Christos Marafatsos is my man for everything.

Wow.

This may get a little confusing, but let's just go step by step here, okay? So Kimberly, part of her deal, she was over there in Greece, and she was cozying up to, uh, these Greek people, right? And that objective was to bring American liquified gas into southeastern Europe, particularly through the Vertical Gas Corridor, a network connecting Greece with Bulgaria, Romania, Moldovia, and Ukraine.

So a lobbyist named Christos Marafatsos, M-A-R-A-F-A-T-S-O, represented Actor's interest.

According to reporting about the company's lobbying activities, Marafatsos accompanied Guilfoyle to meetings involving foreign governments, and these companies also said that, these foreign governors also said they kind of assumed that he was her assistant or something.

So Exarchos was reportedly providing private aircraft transportation to Guilfoyle also, and Greek shipping businessman Nikolas Tsakos, T-S-A-K-O-S, appeared in separate reporting about her private travel.

So the second out- set of allegations, that's one set of allegations.

The second set of allegations is about a guy named Christos Marafatsos, Actor Group, and energy diplomacy.

Federal lobbying records cited in a formal in- for inquiry by Representative Gregory Meeks show that Actor paid Marafatsos 160,000 through June 26 to build connections with the State Department, the Energy Department, and the Executive Office of the President.

Reporting says that Marafatsos accompanied Guilfoyle on numerous meetings with senior officials without every participant being told that he was a registered lobbyist for Actor.

It looks like as soon as the holiday ends today, you know, Donald Trump's famous day, Columbus Day, he's gonna fire Kimberly Guilfoyle because of the Wall Street Journal's reporting, Rupert Murdoch-owned Ru- uh, Wall Street Journal, that Don Jr.'s ex-girlfriend, who they excommunicated to be an ambassador to Greece, uh, was on the take, that, uh, she, uh, was participating in a quid pro quo with a major donor of Donald Trump, a, uh, sort of a renegade lawyer named Eric Deters, and there's text messages and receipts, of course there are, some of which she calls him, "Honey, can you pay off my $100,000 Amex bill?" And, "I really need you to take care of this," and, "Stop writing me in text messages.

You're gonna blow my confirmation as ambassador." All that came out, and then on top of it, you've got the new reporting that she's basically been a failed ambassador or has, has gone so far in terms of corruption that even Donald Trump thinks she's gone too far, like letting Greek lobbyists in to sit in on official diplomatic meetings.

She doesn't know where the line is between diplomacy and her own business interest, pecuniary interest, because there is no line.

I'm Michael Popok.

Poor Greece.

Um, and there were, there's two streams of stories here that are going on.

One of them is the corruption on the job, right? She's letting in lobbyists.

She's, she's taking junkets paid for by lobbyists to go around the country.

Oh, a foreign company's lobbyist.

The Wall Street Journal reports that Christos Marafatsos, a paid lobbyist for Greece's ACTOR group, accompanied Guilfoyle to official meetings.

Some foreign officials reportedly mistook her for chief of staff.

The question, who was representing America and who was representing a client? Promoting one particular company.

It's already been pretty controversial.

Among the more problematic has been her involvement of this lobbyist named Christos Marafatsos.

She had this law.

It's a lobbyist.

But the older story from September 25th, "The mystery man shadowing Guilfoyle as she pushes deals across Europe.

Christos Marafatsos," I'm guessing is our pronunciation, "works as an energy lobbyist," of course, "while also closely advising the US ambassador to Greece." It's a little bit odd.

Rebecca Ballhaus, Dana Mattioli, Joe Parkinson, and Drew Hinshaw are the authors of the piece.

And despite the fact that I have a guest, um, uh, you know, a gift link, you know, again, this is one of those things that only works once, right? Th- they, they, they give you the gift, and then they immediately steal it straight back from you.

I always found that kind of interesting.

Like, to marry someone older than your dad's current wife.

Man, what can I tell you? Anyway, sitting beside the 57-year-old ambassador in an audience with the Bulgarian president was the considerably younger, but that's okay, 'cause he's just there for business, 39-year-old named Christos Marafatsos.

He has attended so many of her meetings.

There's one gentleman that apparently was on her, quote, staff, or that's what they're saying, that he appeared to be on her staff.

That was actually Christos Marafatsos, a registered lobbyist for the Greek construction and energy company ActHer Group.

So that's what's alleged there.

And it was, I think it began as, I believe, as a Wall Street Journal investigation.

Yeah, so the mystery man shadowing Kimberly Guilfoyle as she pushes deals across Europe.

Christos Marafatsos works as an energy lobbyist while also closely advising the US ambassador to Greece.

And what are the chances of that, Joey Deepf? An energy advisor in Greece she's spending a lot of time with while she's over there, and she's meeting with the Romanians about co- colluding against their current government.

She's meeting with the leftist Romanians-

Kind of.

There is no doubt that this is kind of an official position of the US government, said a person familiar with the talks.

Sitting beside the 57-year-old ambassador in an audience with the Bulgarian president was a 39-year-old named Christos Marafatsos.

He has attended so many of her meetings that some foreign officials mistook him for s- for her chief of staff.

Yeah.

Kimberly Guilfoyle has puzzled government officials across the region, has she really though, with her extensive efforts to involve Christos Marafatsos, a 39-year-old former produce seller turned Greeks for Trump chairman.

All right.

Produce seller then becomes Greeks for Trump chairman.
