The personal adviser to US President Donald Trump, Boris Epsteinov,
was in the center of the scandal because of the accusations of bribes. According to information, he allegedly requested potential candidates for key positions in Trump's administration to pay him monthly fees for "consultations" in exchange for supporting their candidates to the President.
The Donald Trump's lawyer team conducted a check initiated by the President's most chosen after receiving information about Epstein's actions. The written conclusions state that among those who had unsuccessfully tried to demand payment, Scott was a person appointed to the post of Minister of Finance.
Lawyers also recommended Trump to stop cooperation with Epstein to avoid a possible scandal that could threaten the reputation of the chosen president.
Boris Epstein categorically denies the accusation. He called the test results unjustified, but did not comment on the specific details of the report.
This incident throws a shadow on Trump's transitional government before his official entry. The Epstein scandal can be the first serious reputational threat to the future administration, which is already faced with numerous challenges against the background of preparation for inauguration.
