Donald Trump’s transition team is already grappling with its own internal politics after one of his most loyal advisers was accused of running a pay-to-play scheme. The president-elect’s legal team launched an internal investigation – which was not criminal – into longtime Trump attorney and adviser Boris Epshteyn following claims he has been profiting personally from his proximity to Trump.

Epshteyn—who has denied any alleged wrongdoing—has reportedly clashed with people in Trump’s orbit, including transition co-chair Howard Lutnick and Elon Musk.
