The Trump Transition Is Starting to Get Ugly
Briefly

Boris Epshteyn has used aggressive tactics to gain influence around Trump, offering his personal recommendations for consulting fees and attempting to secure financial investments.
Despite multiple high-pressure pitches for funds, including a $30,000 monthly fee and a $10 million investment in a basketball tournament, Scott Bessent ultimately turned Wpshteyn's offers down.
Epshteyn, characterized by his imposing presence and opportunistic demeanor, has found himself in hot water, prompting Trump's legal team to consider removing him and investigating potential legal violations.
The tumultuous dynamics within Trump’s inner circle underscore the lengths aides will go to gain favor, with Trump even requesting a review of Epshteyn's tactics after hearing concerning allegations.
