Donald Trump was seen ignoring a call from his advisor under investigation, raising eyebrows during his historic inauguration.
Washington DC: So, Donald Trump was spotted ignoring a call from his advisor, Boris Epshteyn. This happened while he was heading to his inauguration. Talk about a dramatic moment!
Epshteyn is in hot water, facing some serious allegations. He’s accused of trying to get payments from folks to help them land roles in the new administration. He’s calling these claims “false and defamatory.”
Now, Epshteyn is a familiar face in Trump’s circle. He’s been by Trump’s side during some big moments, like court appearances and victory speeches. But he’s also in trouble for his role in trying to overturn the 2020 election results in Arizona.
Interestingly, Eric Trump, Donald’s son, introduced Epshteyn to his dad back when they were at Georgetown University. Epshteyn started with Trump’s team back in 2016 and even had a brief stint in the White House communications team.
He left that role pretty quickly, and the reasons are still a bit of a mystery. But he’s stuck around, acting as a close advisor and helping with legal matters.
On the day of the inauguration, Trump took the oath of office for a historic non-consecutive term. It was quite the event, with many world leaders and dignitaries in attendance. However, not everyone was there; Prime Minister Keir Starmer was notably absent, reportedly due to some past comments he made about the US election.
