Gaetz AG nomination

According to this BBC article, which may be based at least in part, on something on Politico, Epshteyn was the one who convinced Donald Trump to nominate Matt Gaetz for Attorney General shortly after the 2024 election. If sufficiently well documented, this would merit mention. --Haruo (talk) 16:34, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No Source for Senior Advisor

Someone recently added Boris Epshteyn as a Senior Advisor - there is no official announcement (unlike Boulos and Musk). He indeed worked as Senior Advisor to his campaign but was never nominated as a Senior Advisor for the current administration - see here , here and quotes below:

"Epshteyn himself was indicted on charges in Arizona related to alleged efforts by Trump allies to subvert that election; he has pleaded not guilty. His titles are senior counsel and senior advisor to Trump, but even before the review he was not expected to take a role in the incoming administration."

"The firms were reportedly wary of negotiating with Epshteyn since he doesn’t work for the government—especially since the White House would need to sign off on any agreements."

I believe there is no confirmation of his position from reliable sources. Gladiator79 (talk) 11:38, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. I have made extensive searches and have found no evidence that he is a "senior advisor" to Pres. Trump. He has no office in the White House. He remains a personal legal advisor to Donald Trump. See cited sources in the text for that. I will remove the unsubstantiated "office" from the infobox. --Bejnar (talk) 16:14, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
