Evi Kokalari, the Albanian-American conservative activist and founder of Albanians for Trump, is whistleblowing on what she describes as a corrupt network within the MAGA movement.
She claims this group is undermining true conservatives in the Balkans to secure personal financial gain, while explicitly stating that President Donald Trump knows absolutely nothing about these actions.
- Richard Grenell: She alleges Richard Grenell, the former Acting Director of National Intelligence and former U.S. Ambassador to Germany, is corrupt. She says he used his former status as Special Presidential Envoy for Serbia and Kosovo Negotiations to broker shady deals and is in bed with both the sanctioned opposition leader Sali Berisha and the socialist government to ensure his business interests move forward.
- Kimberly Guilfoyle: She says the former Senior Advisor to the President and Chair of the Trump Victory Finance Committee abandoned conservative principles for money, claiming Guilfoyle has become close with the socialist Prime Minister to facilitate a $1 billion gas deal.
- Matt Schlapp: She accuses Matt Schlapp, Chairman of the American Conservative Union and CPAC, and the CPAC lobbying arm, Tactic, of building a system that profits from supporting corrupt foreign politicians while sidelining honest players.
She summarizes this system as a pipeline running from CPAC to Tactic lobbying and finally to business deals for Grenell.
The photo taken in Tirana, Albania, purportedly captures the moment a shady deal was solidified.
According to Kokalari, the individuals pictured are Edi Rama, the socialist Prime Minister of Albania, on the left; Kimberly Guilfoyle, the former Trump Campaign Official and media personality, in the center; and Christos Marafatsos, a CPAC Treasury Official and Chairman of Greeks for Trump, on the right.
Kokalari points to this photo as evidence of a pay-to-play scheme where CPAC officials and Trump-aligned figures are bypassing diplomatic protocols, specifically the U.S. Embassy, to sign infrastructure contracts with a socialist leader ideologically opposed to MAGA values.
In terms of context and motivation, Kokalari emphasizes that she is an organic MAGA supporter who believes President Trump is being kept in the dark by those close to him.
While she was once a key ally of Sali Berisha, the former President and Prime Minister of Albania, she now claims he manipulated her using a fake Soros narrative.
She intends to run for the Chairmanship of the Democratic Party of Albania on May 23, 2026, and views Grenell and Guilfoyle as her primary obstacles because they allegedly prefer working with corrupt established players who provide lucrative business contracts.
