Some Trump Advisers Are Seeking End to FBI’s Security Check on Appointees
The New York Times failed to note that Epshetyn was arrested and pled guilty to groping employees at a club in Phoenix in 2021 and was indicted in June in the AZ fake elector scheme.
It also did not see fit to mention that Jack Smith has appealed the stolen documents case against Trump to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit for top secret documents stacked in one of the bathrooms and elsewhere at Mar-A-Lago.
Some Trump Advisers Are Seeking End to FBI’s Security Check on Appointees
A memo circulating among at least half a dozen advisers to former President Donald J. Trump recommends that if he is elected, he bypass traditional background checks by law enforcement officials and immediately grant security clearances to a large number of his appointees after being sworn in, according to three people briefed on the matter.
The proposal is being promoted by a small group including Boris Epshteyn, a top legal adviser to Mr. Trump who was influential in its development, according to the three people.
Trump Advisor Boris Epshetyn Arrested in 2021 After Groping Complaints At Club, Police Records Show
PHOENIX (AP) — Boris Epshteyn, a longtime aide to former President Donald Trump, was arrested in 2021 after he was accused of repeatedly groping two women in an Arizona nightclub, according to police records. Epshteyn pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct charges in Scottsdale city court after prosecutors dropped charges of attempted sexual abuse, assault-touching and “harass-repeated acts.” He paid a fine and served probation, and his conviction was set aside earlier this year.
She said club security told her they couldn’t kick out Epshteyn because he was a big spender, though security guards eventually led him out of the bar to police.
“We have a high tolerance of people being weird, but that was above and beyond,” the older sister told one officer.
Epshteyn denied wrongdoing but said little else about the incident to police as he sat on a curb outside the bar.
“I have no idea what’s going on. I have no idea who these women are,” Epshteyn told officers.
Epshteyn was also charged in 2014 with assault-touching following a fight at another Scottsdale bar, court records show. He reached a plea deal with prosecutors and the conviction was later set aside.
