Boris Epshteyn? [View all]

Michael Popok, of MeidasTouch News, just reported on him.

He has always been a shady character operating in the shadows. He was born in Russia but has been with Trump since his very first campaign. Popok said he had taken the position that Michael Cohen once had, sort of a consigliere to Donald Trump.

Popok said he was the person pulling the strings on all of Trump's legal matters, including those of Todd Blanche and his DC lawyers. He has been sort of invisible in the press.

But, I have always suspected that he was working for Vladimir Putin. He got into the Trump circle thru a friendship with Eric Trump, Popok reported.

His name was just a reminder of the "Russia, Russia, Russia" connection that has shadowed Trump since 2016.

Interesting that his name has re-appeared, in my opinion.
