Summary
Boris Epshteyn, a senior adviser to Donald Trump, is under investigation for allegedly soliciting payments for political influence and favorable recommendations. The allegations were prompted by complaints from former Missouri Governor Eric Greitens.

The situation highlights the chaotic dynamics surrounding Trump's inner circle during the transition period.
