Aide Boris Epshteyn was with Trump last night despite internal investigation recommendation to limit access

In a sign of his continued influence despite a recent internal investigation, Boris Epshteyn was seen with President-elect Donald Trump last night, a person familiar with the matter told CNN.

This comes after an internal investigation into allegations Epshteyn — sought to benefit financially from his influence on Trump — recommended Epshteyn’s access to the president-elect be limited.

More on the investigation: The internal investigation, which was confirmed by half a dozen sources and is not criminal in nature, has probed multiple instances of Epshteyn allegedly requesting payment in exchange for promoting candidates for administration positions or offering to connect individuals with people in the upcoming administration relevant to their industries, sources said.

In one instance, he allegedly requested as much as $100,000 per month in exchange for his services, according to sources familiar with the matter.

Epshteyn’s alleged activities prompted those looking into the matter to make an initial recommendation that Epshteyn should be removed from Trump’s proximity and that he should not be employed or paid by Trump entities, according to two sources.
