President-elect Donald J. Trump’s legal team found evidence that a top adviser asked for retainer fees from potential appointees in order to promote them for jobs in the new administration, five people briefed on the matter said on Monday.
According to the review, Mr. Epshteyn met with Mr. Bessent in February, at a time when it was widely known that he was interested in the Treasury post, and proposed $30,000 to $40,000 a month to “promote” Mr. Bessent around Mar-a-Lago, Mr. Trump’s estate in Florida...
The second person cited in the review was a defense contractor from whom Mr. Epshteyn sought $100,000 a month during the transition period. The report said Mr. Epshteyn depicted his own hiring as “do or die” for the person’s prospects.

The Trump administration is an organized crime syndicate. This same asshole was indicted in Arizona for election subversion.
