The Daily Beast reports:
Trump’s personal attorney is the one who has negotiated almost $1 billion in free legal services from firms the president has targeted with executive orders as part of his revenge campaign. Instead of meeting with government attorneys, Big Law firms that the administration has targeted have hashed out deals with Boris Epshteyn, the lawyer who led Trump’s effort to overturn former Biden’s 2020 election victory, per the Wall Street Journal.
Epshteyn has worked for Trump since 2016 and is a polarizing figure—even by the standards of Trumpland. He worked briefly for the firm Milbank LLP after graduating from law school but has never tried a case, according to the Journal. His business card lists his name, cell phone number, and Gmail account, and he takes weekly meetings at a steakhouse in Washington that he calls his unofficial office.
From a November 2024 CNN report:
Attorneys for Donald Trump conducted an internal investigation into allegations that one of his top aides, Boris Epshteyn, has sought to gain financially from his influence with Trump and others in the president-elect’s orbit, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.
The internal investigation, which was confirmed by half a dozen sources and is not criminal in nature, has probed multiple instances of Epshteyn allegedly requesting payment in exchange for promoting candidates for administration positions or offering to connect individuals with people in the upcoming administration relevant to their industries, sources said.
In one instance he requested as much as $100,000 per month in exchange for his services, according to sources familiar with the matter.
From an August 2023 Arizona Republic report:
A woman says Boris Epshteyn, a special adviser to Donald Trump, repeatedly groped her and her sister inside a Scottsdale nightclub in 2021, according to police body camera footage obtained by The Arizona Republic.
Epshteyn, who had worked with Arizona politicians to overturn Trump’s 2020 election loss, was accused of sexually assaulting the women at the Bottled Blonde nightclub early in the morning of Oct. 10, 2021.
Epshteyn was charged with “assault touching,” “attempted sexual abuse,” “harassment-repeated acts” and “disorderly conduct-disruptive behavior or fighting.” The first three charges were dismissed, but Epshteyn pleaded guilty in Scottsdale City Court to disorderly conduct and served probation. The conviction was set aside by the court in January 2023.
