Secret probe reveals money issues in Trump's transition team inner circle

Back in the post-election period David Warrington‚ the chief legal advisor for Trumps transition team‚ ran a confidential probe into potential misconduct (which wasnt publicly known at that time)

The investigation focused on Boris Epshteyn‚ who had close ties to the president-elect: he was suspected of getting money from people who wanted to get jobs or influence in the new administration. The review showed some concerning patterns in Epshteyns activities - he might have used his position near Trump for personal gain

Based on the findings Warrington made a clear-cut recommendation to other top-level transition officials: they needed to put strict limits on Epshteyns ability to meet or talk with the incoming president. This info comes from someone who knows about the situation but cant use their name because its an internal matter

The whole situation happened during the busy pre-inauguration time when the transition team was working on setting-up the new govt structure. The investigation showed how carefully the team watched over access to the president-elect: they wanted to stop anyone from using their connection to Trump for wrong reasons
