Boris Epshteyn, personal counsel to President Donald Trump, has gained significant influence during Trump's second term. Axios reported that Epshteyn, who previously worked in the White House and was involved in Trump's legal challenges following the 2020 election, is now seen as a key figure in the administration. Some advisers describe him as overly supportive of the president, with one stating he is '100 percent hype-man.' Epshteyn has played a role in Trump's defense in various legal matters, including civil cases and criminal prosecutions, and was involved in shaping a proposed $1.8 billion fund that was ultimately abandoned. He has also been appointed as chair of Trump Media. His financial spending habits have raised questions, but a friend defended him against rumors regarding his wealth. The Daily Beast has reached out to the White House for comments.
