To work for Donald Trump is to be in a perpetual state of limbo. But among the crew of Trump hands that have gone in and out of his orbit, a few remain lifers. And among those lifers, Boris Epshteyn doesn’t just reside, he’s risen.

Aides don’t have long shelf-lives. Some leave in fits of frustration. Others are pushed out amid staff squabbles. A fair number have found legal troubles along the way.
“Once you get President Trump’s confidence and he trusts your judgment, there’s other things he needs done,” said Steve Bannon, a former Trump adviser who frequently has Epshteyn as a guest on his “War Room” podcast. “Trump’s on offense across the board on legal strategy, and I think that’s because of Boris.”called him an “idiot”
“Folks in the president’s old legal team were able to prevail on some legal strategies that he didn’t agree with but that doesn’t mean he’s out or sidelined. Boris is one of the people Chris has to deal with,” said a person close to Trump’s legal team, who was granted anonymity to speak candidly about tensions on the team. “I don’t know where [Ephsteyn] filed his law license. They must be selling them at 7-11.
“The war waged by the enemies of President Donald J. Trump has many fronts and is covered in real-time by an abetting press corps,” the lawyer added. “Only someone with the highest level of confidence, and a heart-felt understanding of human nature, would be up to the job. Boris fits the bill.” Epshteyn met Eric Trump when they both attended Georgetown. The two remained friends, with Epshteyn attending Trump’s 2014 Mar-a-Lago wedding. When Trump’s father launched his 2016 campaign, Epshteyn took on the role of emissary to traditional media.
