Boris Epshteyn, a senior adviser to Donald Trump, is under investigation for allegedly soliciting payments for political influence and favorable recommendations. The allegations were prompted by complaints from former Missouri Governor Eric Greitens. Trump's legal team conducted a review recommending reduced access for Epshteyn as the Trump transition team looks to avoid further internal conflict. Epshteyn, already embroiled in legal issues related to the 2020 election, denied the accusations, asserting that they are false and defamatory. The situation highlights the chaotic dynamics surrounding Trump's inner circle during the transition period.
