Trump lawyer, former Trump surrogate on list of people House committee wants to hear from

Former Trump surrogate Boris Epshteyn is on a list of people that the House Intelligence Committee wants to hear from as part of its probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election and ties between the Russian government and Trump associates.

"Like many others, Mr. Epshteyn has received a broad, preliminary request for information from the House Intelligence Committee," Epshteyn's counsel told CBS News. "This is a voluntary request. Mr. Epshteyn has not been subpoenaed nor do we anticipate that he will be.

We have reached out to the Committee wth several follow up questions and we are awaiting their response in order to better understand what information they are seeking and whether Mr. Epshteyn is able to reasonably provide it."

The list of more than 20 names also includes President Trump's longtime personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, according to a U.S. official. The list represents only the first round of interviews the Committee wants to conduct, and more names will likely be added to it in the future.

1. Wasn't Boris supposed to be source E in the dossier?

Funny how that Steele Dossier keeps coming up, eh?

3. Yes

He was Eric Trump's roommate (or housemate) in college. From that he became a friend of the family and I've seen speculation that he could be a deep-cover agent for Putin. (I don't know if that's true or not.) However he's had close contact with the Trumps for the last 20 years. I don't know all the details but I think his parents emigrated to the US when Boris was very young.

2. He was on Bill Maher and is such a consummate, slimy liar. I hope he goes down big time.

8. He is a smug, entitled, asshole

Arrogance in the dictionaries should have his picture,

as soon as the Manafort, Russia stories began spreading outside of Ukraine.

Poof! He was gone, nowhere to be found, I thought as the Beatles sang "I'm back in the USSR"

9. it may get to the point

might get to the point when if you're associated w/ the Trump campaign/white house, the House Intelligence Committee will want to hear from you regarding the Russia investigation.
