Since the conclusion of his first term, and really since he announced his first campaign for the Presidency, President Donald J. Trump has been subject to an unprecedented onslaught of judicial attacks from activist prosecutors in federal, state, and local jurisdictions across the United States. Through it all, he has emerged victorious and stronger than ever.

A loyal, devoted, and committed legal team has been a key to that success. President Trump’s key legal advisor, Boris Epshteyn, who coordinated that ever-expanding group of killer lawyers, merits acclaim from every supporter of the President for helping keep the 47th President of the United States a free man.

Epshteyn’s role in President Trump’s success is important to recognize, especially as he fends off angry attacks from both inside leakers and biased left-wing press while having coordinated lawsuits against many of them for defaming and otherwise unlawfully maligning President Trump. Leading a presidential ticket is never easy. President Trump, though, came off as polished and focused, earnest and attentive to the American people’s needs, even as he faced persecution and selective prosecution unlike anything in modern American history.

Epshteyn’s unconventional thinking and willingness to pursue novel legal strategies were critical to countering the unprecedented barrage of legal attacks. He has been a natural shadchan for President Trump’s legal team, skillfully pairing the right lawyers to ensure the most effective defense strategy. In doing so, he ensured that conventional, stuffy, corporate boardroom stiffs never seized control of the legal team, which remained unencumbered by bureaucracy.

The results of this strategy are apparent. The group of attorneys that Epshteyn established let President Trump focus on what mattered most: shielding President Trump from political persecution while spreading the Make America Great Again message to as many voters as possible.

Now, detractors have come out of the woodwork to snipe at Epshteyn. Perhaps they do not appreciate his tough, direct style. Maybe they underestimated him and his proximity to President Trump. Epshteyn has focused on his role behind the scenes, avoiding any attempts to mooch off President Trump’s shine by stealing headlines or taking much-deserved accolades for the legal team’s success. He has been omnipresent with President Trump at the latter’s toughest moments, such as on Centre Street outside New York Criminal Court, but does not seek the spotlight at the moment of victory. He is selfless in his efforts to support President Trump, and, moreover, he embodies one key value critical to President Trump’s legal and electoral success: loyalty.

Having a legal operations manager with unquestionable intentions allowed President Trump to focus on campaigning, even as he was forced to endure weeks of court appearances. President Trump was able to pivot from trial to rally in a matter of hours, trusting that his legal team was under appropriate supervision. Epshteyn has never shirked from that responsibility, even when facing personal, professional, and career-impacting repercussions like a lawless indictment in the Arizona “alternate electors” case.

As he moves back to the White House, President Trump will continue to require committed, loyal members of his team to protect his interests from what will undoubtedly be further attacks. Despite the immunity his role confers, President Trump will face an unparalleled propaganda campaign by the fake news media, and they must be held in check. Epshteyn has proven that he has the capability and wherewithal to continue to aid President Trump at the highest level in managing such issues as they arise.

There is no doubt that fake news media publications would favor President Trump ejecting Epshteyn from his inner circle; they want to see President Trump severed from loyalists so he is forced to rely on RINOs and disinterested third parties attempting to subvert the mandate enacted by the American people on November 5, 2024. This serves their interests, not President Trump’s interests, and certainly not the American people’s interests. What they may not realize is that loyalty is a two-way street; President Trump will stand with his team against mainstream liars.

Had Epshteyn failed, we would inhabit a far darker world today–one where, perhaps, President Trump would have been confined to prison rather than plotting his return to Washington, D.C., from Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida. Boris Epshteyn has proven his worth to President Trump and, thereby, to all Americans. We must stand with him solidly and without wavering, just as Boris has always stood for all of us and with President Trump.
