"Boris Epshteyn, a leading adviser to President-elect Donald Trump, allegedly sought payments in the tens of thousands of dollars in exchange for promoting candidates for top positions in the incoming administration, a scheme that observers saw as further evidence of the corruption pervading the Republican leader's inner circle."
"The Washington Post reported Monday that Epshteyn asked Bessent for 'a monthly stipend of at least $30,000' in exchange for promoting him for the Treasury role, an offer Bessent declined. Epshteyn 'later asked Bessent to invest $10 million in a three-on-three basketball league,' according to the Post, which cited an internal legal review."
