Boris Epshteyn, an official in the White House press office who had a contentious relationship with television producers and was once a frequent presence on TV himself, is leaving his job, according to three people with knowledge of the move.

The departure was treated with some mystery. Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary, would not comment on the reason Mr. Epshteyn, an old friend of President Trump’s son Eric, was expected to depart the post.

A senior administration official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said only that officials were exploring other opportunities in the administration for Mr. Epshteyn, who at one point was on cable news as many as seven times a day promoting Mr. Trump during the presidential campaign.

Another person briefed on the discussions said that Mr. Epshteyn’s move was still pending, and that both he and the administration sought it. The person maintained that it was not an acrimonious situation..................................................

I read this just happened Sat evening some time, so should be within the 12 hours for LBN.
I think the WH is purging itself of Russian connections.

WH demotes someone for being a jerk to media? That would be a first. Seems more like a Russia connection issue.

They are acting desperate, they are done.

20. I recall that issue... Reminds me not to get to optimistic about this TrumpRussia issue.

2. Getting rid of him before he gets his subpoena? This guy has always been very sneaky to me.

[riversedge]

4. I always thought he was rude, A fast talker who got way too much air-time

[PatSeg]

17. He was one of the worst Trump surrogates

on television, very gloomy, intense, and rude. I found him extremely creepy as well, not the kind of person you put out there to represent a campaign, but then it was the Trump campaign, hardly typical in any sense.

[duncang]

21. I also wonder if he is part of the nunes midnight run.

Last week when nunes ran to the WH I wondered who he wanted to warn them in the WH being exposed. And to watch for people leaving. Now I also wonder if it was just one person and there will be more to follow who were reported to the WH by nunes.
