Boris Epshteyn’s actions in Arizona, including communications with a lawyer who helped coordinate the “fake” electors from the state, are similar to actions described as “Co-Conspirator 6.”

A woman says Boris Epshteyn, a special adviser to Donald Trump, repeatedly groped her and her sister inside a Scottsdale nightclub in 2021, according to police body camera footage obtained by The Arizona Republic.
Epshteyn, who had worked with Arizona politicians to overturn Trump’s 2020 election loss, was accused of sexually assaulting the women at the Bottled Blonde nightclub early in the morning of Oct. 10, 2021.
“All night he’s been touching me and my sister, especially my sister. He kind of cornered her and grabbed her and is just making her super uncomfortable,” a 27-year-old woman told police in the body camera footage.
The Arizona Republic is not identifying the women, one of whom described Epshteyn’s actions as “molesting” them inside the club.
“Touching her chest, touching her hips, touching her crotch,” the woman told police just before police ordered Epshteyn, wearing shorts, sandals and a collared shirt, to sit on a nearby curb that was strewn with chewing gum and cigarette butts.
Epshteyn was charged with “assault touching,” “attempted sexual abuse,” “harassment-repeated acts” and “disorderly conduct-disruptive behavior or fighting.”
The first three charges were dismissed, but Epshteyn pleaded guilty in Scottsdale City Court to disorderly conduct and served probation. The conviction was set aside by the court in January 2023.
Reached by The Arizona Republic Wednesday, Epshteyn declined to comment on the incident.
