Trump adviser Boris Epshteyn was arrested in 2021 over allegations that he groped two women at an Arizona bar, newly released police bodycam video shows.

Three sexual misconduct charges were later dropped, and Epshteyn pleaded guilty to a disorderly conduct charge two months after the incident in Scottsdale. The conviction was set aside after Epshteyn completed his sentence of probation.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Trump adviser Boris Epshteyn was arrested in 2021 over allegations that he groped two women at an Arizona bar, newly released police bodycam video shows.

    Bodycam video first obtained by The Arizona Republic of Phoenix shows police speaking separately to Epshteyn and a woman who accused him of repeatedly grabbing her and her sister at a bar called the Bottled Blonde on Oct. 10, 2021.

    Epshteyn, a lawyer and top adviser to Donald Trump, traveled with the former president on his plane from New Jersey to Washington, D.C., last week for arraignment on charges he used “unlawful means” in a bid to overturn the 2020 election.

    One of the women Epshteyn was accused of groping told police in the bodycam video that the incident started after he approached her group and invited them to his table for free drinks.

    At the table, Epshteyn began touching the women “inappropriately,” including grabbing them by their waists and pulling them to his crotch, the police report said, citing the woman’s account.

    Asked to describe the man, the woman in the video said that he was “ugly” and that he was wearing a “white Ralph Lauren polo,” adding that he looked like a “fatter Tony Soprano.”
