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.

“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.
