Boris Epshteyn, who recently left his post as a special assistant to the president in the White House press office, takes a job as chief political analyst for the Sinclair Broadcast Group.
Sinclair, among the largest operators of television stations in the country, announces that Epshteyn will provide analysis and insight on major political stories.
Epshteyn formerly managed the surrogate operation of the White House and Trump administration, and also appeared as an on-air spokesman for the president. Prior to joining the White House, Epshteyn served as communications director for the Inaugural Committee. He also was a surrogate and senior adviser to the Trump presidential campaign, where he managed messaging.
