Boris Epshteyn, a longtime legal adviser and confidant of Donald Trump, was scheduled to be interviewed on Thursday by prosecutors from special counsel Jack Smith's office as they investigate the former president's role in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, according to ABC News.
It's not clear what prosecutors wanted to discuss with Epshteyn, but as one of Trump's closest advisers in recent years, he is potentially in position to offer insight into both of the investigations that Smith is overseeing. Those include Trump's efforts to remain in power after losing the 2020 election, including the apparent coup attempt of Jan. 6, as well as the ex-president's handling of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago resort.
