Russian Boris Epstein, Trump’s adviser, wants to become envoy to resolve the Russian-Ukrainian war.
Trump himself was interested in such a proposal and did not reject it, but did not agree either, writes the New York Times.
Journalists write that Epstein announced his candidacy at a time when Trump was flying to Washington for a meeting with current US President Joe Biden on Wednesday, November 13, which is why “everyone on the plane was stunned.” Trump himself was interested in such a proposal and did not reject it, but did not agree either.
The New York Times notes that Trump has already given Epstein extraordinary powers and has shown a willingness to listen to his advice more than that of others. Even the American billionaire Elon Musk, who has recently also increased his influence on Trump and is preparing to join his government, was surprised by this.
Epstein was born in Russia and spent his childhood there. He himself claims that he has relatives both in Ukraine and in Russia. According to the NYT, Epstein worked on the White House communications team during Trump’s first presidency, but left his post in 2017 due to “problems with access to state secrets.”
Epstein coordinated the legal defense of criminal cases against Trump, in particular the payment to porn star Stormy Daniels. NYT sources also claim that it was Epstein who promoted the candidacy of Matt Gaetz for the post of Attorney General in the United States.
Epstein is also involved in legal cases. He and other Trump associates are under investigation in Arizona for attempting to overturn the 2020 election results using so-called fraudulent voters.
