Despite operating out of the public eye, Epshteyn has played a key role in managing Trump's extensive legal battles, particularly against media organizations. His strategic approach has led to significant settlements with several major media companies, including ABC, CBS, Meta, Google, and X, though other cases against entities like CNN and The New York Times are ongoing.
