Trump's Senior Adviser Boris Epshteyn Investigated for Alleged Financial Misconduct; Denies Allegations
Nov 25, 2024, 11:48 PM
President-elect Donald Trump's attorneys have conducted an internal investigation into allegations that Boris Epshteyn, a senior and longtime adviser, sought financial gains by requesting payments from individuals seeking positions in the upcoming administration. The internal review concluded that Epshteyn solicited consulting fees from political candidates, a defense contractor, and at least one potential Cabinet nominee while concurrently being paid by the Trump campaign. In one instance, Epshteyn allegedly demanded a monthly stipend of at least $30,000 from financier Scott Bessent to promote him within Trump's circle, stating he was "Boris F---ing Epshteyn" and that Bessent "should have paid for his services sooner." The internal review recommended severing Epshteyn's employment and warned of potential scandal and possible criminal charges. Epshteyn denies the allegations. The Trump transition team is grappling with internal strife over Epshteyn's alleged conduct, raising ethical concerns within the team.
