Trump Adviser Boris Epshteyn Investigated for Soliciting Up to $100,000 Monthly from Potential Nominees
Nov 26, 2024, 12:02 PM
Trump's legal team has conducted an internal investigation into allegations that Boris Epshteyn, one of President-elect Donald Trump's top advisers, sought to financially benefit from his influence by requesting payments from potential administration nominees, including Scott Bessent, who was interested in the Treasury Secretary position. Epshteyn is accused of soliciting monthly consulting fees, reportedly ranging from $30,000 to $100,000, in exchange for promoting individuals for positions in the upcoming administration. In one instance, he allegedly referred to himself as "Boris F---ing Epshteyn" when discussing payments. The internal review recommended ending Epshteyn's employment and proximity to Trump to avoid potential scandals or criminal charges. Epshteyn has denied the allegations.
