The top lawyer on Donald Trump's transition team investigated Boris Epshteyn over allegations he sought payments from those seeking influence in the new administration.
Epshteyn allegedly sought payments from Trump's treasury secretary nominee, Scott Bessent, after Bessent declined to pay a substantial retainer.
Former Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens described Epshteyn's tone and behavior as creating an implicit expectation for business dealings before advocating for his appointment.
The review of Epshteyn's actions highlights the complex dynamics and disorganization surrounding Trump's administration as it prepares for a second term.
