Among those who were indicted were White House chief of staff #MarkMeadows, attorneys #RudyGiuliani, #JohnEastman & #ChristinaBobb, top campaign adviser #BorisEpshteyn & former campaign aide #MikeRoman. The grand jury accused them of unsuccessfully trying to award the state’s electoral votes to #Trump instead of #Biden even though Biden won the popular vote there.

#BorisEpshteyn earned #Trump’s trust by overseeing his legal team after Trump left office & is regularly at the White House, admin ofcls said.

Some of the #LawFirms privately worried about negotiating with a lawyer who wasn’t employed by the govt & didn’t have a govt email address, some of the lawyers said. But they decided talking w/Epshteyn was their best path to avoid a govt investigation or executive order, the people said, after determining he had serious sway w/Trump.

On Fri alone, 5 #LawFirms including Latham & Watkins and Kirkland & Ellis entered into such deals worth some $600M in pro bono work….

#BorisEpshteyn has NEVER tried a criminal or civil case & carries a white business card that reads, “Boris Epshteyn, Esq.” that lists his Gmail account & a cellphone number. He calls a steakhouse in DC where he hosts meetings every week his unofficial office. His face is caricatured on the wall & the restaurant even stores a portable phone charger for him.

#Trump’s personal *lawyer* [fixer] #BorisEpshteyn, who has been #indicted in AZ on charges related to Trump’s 2020 election loss, has emerged as the face of Trump’s campaign against large #LawFirms that it views as hostile to the president & his causes, acc/to lawyers at 7 of the firms & WH ofcls. In a series of meetings & phone calls, Epshteyn has extracted large commitments of *pro bono* work for Trump-supported causes & changes to the law firms’ hiring practices to Trump’s preferences….

I think this was about Boris Epshteyn, in the Washington Post. But everybody does it, don't they?

"The scathing review [#consulting fees] of #BorisEpshteyn, a top lawyer ... in the transition, was prepared by [Prez] attorneys in recent days, according to two people familiar with the report.
"The existence of the review itself was first reported by CNN. Some ... first reported by Just the News, a conservative website,"

#Leaked #memo reveals plan for #DonaldTrump to skip '#traditional #background #checks' for his #appointees if elected

"The proposal is being promoted by a small group including #BorisEpshteyn,a top #legal #adviser to Trump who was #influential in its #development, according to the three people."

It would allow him to quickly install #loyalists in major positions w/o subjecting them to the risk of long-running & *intrusive* [extremely necessary] #FBI #BackgroundChecks, potentially increasing the risks of people w/problematic histories or ties to other nations being given influential White House roles. Such checks hung up clearances for a number of aides during #Trump’s presidency, including Trump’s son-in-law #JaredKushner & #BorisEpshteyn.
