Uppgifter: Trumprådgivare bad jobbsökare om betalt
Boris Epshteyn, en av Donald Trumps främsta rådgivare, har velat få betalt av personer som har varit intresserade av jobb i Trumps regering. Det rapporterar CNN.
En av dem som Epshteyn ska ha velat ha betalt av är Scott Bessent, nyligen nominerad som finansminister. Epshteyn ska ha närmat sig Bessent i februari och föreslagit att den senare skulle betala 30 000 till 40 000 dollar i månaden för att främja sina chanser att få jobbet. Bessent avböjde dock.
Flera personer ska ha reagerat på Epshteyns beteende och meddelat Donald Trump, som initierade en utredning av fallet.
New York Times har tagit del av ett dokument som avslutas med förslaget att Epshteyns nära kontakt med Donald Trump avslutas.
Epshteyn nekar till anklagelserna.
