Several #states also investigated the #FakeElectors conspiracy, with some filing charges although #criminal charges in at least one state were dismissed.
Trump's pardons include 77 people but could include others not named, the document said. Presidential #pardons only apply to federal charges, & do not apply to state cases.
The list includes #ChristinaBobb, #JohnEastman, #BorisEpshteyn, among others. The pardon does not apply to #Trump, acc/to the document [why would it? He’s above the #law].

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….

#Trump’s $1 Billion Law Firm Deals Are the Work of His Personal Lawyer
#BorisEpshteyn, who doesn’t work for the #US government, has *negotiated* with a series of #LawFirms to cajole them into entering deals
Trump has reached around $1 billion in deals with the country’s top law firms in the past month, using the full weight of his presidency to threaten their business.

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.

Advisers Propose That #Trump Give #SecurityClearances Without #FBI Vetting
A memo circulating among at least half a dozen advisers to Trump recommends that if he is elected, he bypass traditional #BackgroundChecks by #law enforcement & immediately grant security clearances to a large number of his appointees giving them access to #classified secrets.
The proposal is being promoted by a group including #BorisEpshteyn.

“Boris does two things,” said Timothy Parlatore, a lawyer who once represented #Trump but departed largely because of clashes w/ #BorisEpshteyn. “He coordinates the legal teams & he acts as an emotional support animal to *the president*. He’s Mr. Good News. He loves telling the president what he wants to hear. And he does that in a way so that he can maintain control over the legal teams — to the president’s detriment, in my opinion.”

But in #Arizona, #BorisEpshteyn is getting a featured role. His #indictment there stems from work he did behind the scenes to try to keep #Trump in power after his #2020election loss. Shepherding a small group of advisers, he helped oversee a plan to deploy #FakeElectors in 7 battleground states lost by Trump, documents show.

#BorisEpshteyn routinely surfaces as a lesser character in Trump-related indictments, court records show. Election cases in #Georgia & #Wisconsin identify him as “Individual 3” & “Individual A.” In one federal case pending against #Trump, he appears as “Person 5.” In another, his email traffic matches that of “Co-conspirator 6.”

#BorisEpshteyn routinely surfaces as a lesser character in #Trump-related #indictments. In a case in #Arizona on Tues, he will be a major figure.
A college friend of Trump’s son Eric at Georgetown, he would become a swaggering TV surrogate for the 2016 Trump campaign before eventually serving as Trump’s unofficial chief #fixer & #legal strategist.

#TrumpTrial 🧵 Monday 20 May 2024

#Blanche may be suggesting that when #Trump referred to "cash" in that recording, he could have been referencing any number of payments.
(But the recording specifically
said “our friend David” meaning #Pecker)Trump aides #BorisEpshteyn & #KarolineLeavitt smile at this line of questioning w/ #MichaelCohen (maybe it was their idea)

Word has gone out to #Trump allies over the past few days that Trump wants to see a bigger show of support inside the courtroom. Trump's entourage is big enough today that they’re having trouble arranging themselves in the 2 rows of seats set aside for supporters of the defense's side.
Trump walks into the courtroom, trailed by #DougBurgum, #VivekRamaswamy, Eric & #LaraTrump, #BorisEpshteyn, & #AlinaHabba.

#Trump is back w/ his criminally indicted adviser #BorisEpshteyn.
Justice Juan #Merchan is on the bench & announces a scheduling clarification, saying that another hearing to determine whether Trump violated his #GagOrder will be held next Thurs morning. We are still waiting for the outcome of Tuesday’s hearing on the gag order, in which prosecutors asked that Trump be held in #contempt & fined at least $10k.

Okay, after feeding/hydrating/bathing/drying/loving #BabySquirrel Ramone, my #TrumpTrial coverage is back on. Thank goodness they recognize adoptive #squirrel parental rights [obviously I’m kidding]
#BorisEpshteyn, Trump's #illegal adviser who was indicted yesterday in #Arizona, is here.
#Epshteyn is *aggressively* using his cell phone, which is #barred in #court. #CourtOfficers who patrol #journalists & others from doing the same aren’t enforcing the restriction on him.

@LeaBug
Yep, you're right. WaPo is just reporting now that the redacted names are #MarkMeadows, #RudyGiuliani, #JennaEllis, #JohnEastman, #ChristinaBobb, #BorisEpshteyn, and #MikeRoman, also all indicted -
Pool reporters mentioned that a legal adviser to #Trump, #BorisEpshteyn, was also in the courtroom.

So many sold souls…
#Senator #LindseyGraham, fmr Sens #DavidPerdue & #KellyLoeffler, & fmr Trump #NationalSecurity *adviser* #MikeFlynn were among those whom the panel recommended for #indictment but were not ultimately charged. #Trump adviser #BorisEpshteyn was also on the list….

With all this talk of # 6 & #BorisEpshteyn, I hope #Sinclair is getting investigated. They purposely brought #Trump's propaganda's agent into the homes of millions of people via their local news. It wasn't about news. It was about spreading propaganda #USPol
Epshteyn started laying the framework of stolen elections in 2016 by claiming Obama won North Carolina due to illegal voting in 2008
Sinclair knows what they are. Did they take part? If so, divest Sinclair

The man leading Trump’s defense in #federalCourt in #Miami Tues, Todd Blanche, also represents him in the #HushMoney #criminal case against him in #Manhattan.
In 2019, Blanche won the dismissal before trial of state charges against Trump’s fmr campaign chair, Paul #Manafort.
& he also represents TFG’s controversial #legal adviser, #BorisEpshteyn. -

Recently resigned #Trump atty-Timothy Parlatore- dishes hard on Trump atty-#BorisEpshteyn-as THE reason Parlatore left.
Says Epshteyn, among other things, tried to interfere w searches for classified #documents incl of #Bedminister.:
"There were certain things like the searches that he attempted to interfere with...This is the searches at Bedminster initially.”
