Epshteyn became a special assistant in the Trump administration as it took office. He wrote Trump's controversial statement for Holocaust Remembrance Day in January 2017, which omitted any mention of the Jewish people.[13] Following criticism of the omission, press secretary Sean Spicer defended the statement as written by "an individual who is both Jewish and the descendent of Holocaust survivors."[13][14] At the end of March 2017, it was reported that unnamed sources had said Epshteyn was resigning.[15]

But look at what sterling qualification he had for the Trump regime:
Two years ago, Epshteyn was charged with misdemeanour assault in Scottsdale, Arizona, following a bar fight. The charge was dropped after he agreed to undergo anger management counselling and perform community service.
...
In 2009, he became vice-president for legal affairs at a small financial firm, West America Securities, in which his wife's uncle, Charles J. Newman, held a stake. By then, the company and its chief executive, Robert B. Kay, who was a longtime associate of Newman's, had a history of run-ins with regulators, public filings show.
As a result of an episode involving Kay, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, a Wall Street regulator, took the unusual step in 2013 of expelling West America, effectively shutting it down. Epshteyn and Newman were not accused of wrongdoing in the matter.
...
The company, Sigma Development Corp., alleged that Epshteyn and his partner had accepted an initial $US100,000 payment to help find it investors for a Disneyland-style theme park in Houston, and then failed to deliver on promises.

How did the Trump operation find such a competent, upstanding man who gets into bar fights in his 30s, and has had 2 out of 3 of the firms he's worked for involved in legal problems (plus, as a bonus, working on the 2008 Palin campaign)? Why, he's a friend of Eric Trump. Did you need to ask?
