He singled out Boris Epshteyn, another lawyer and top Trump adviser in multiple criminal investigations, whom he accused of "doing everything he could to try to block us to prevent us from doing what we could to defend the president." In a statement responding to Parlatore's comments, a Trump spokesman said, "Mr. Parlatore is no longer a member of the legal team. His statements regarding current members of the legal team are unfounded and categorically false."
He also said Epshteyn had resisted the idea of the legal team organizing months ago a search of Trump's property in Bedminster, New Jersey, for potential additional classified documents, and that he had impeded a defense strategy aimed at helping "educate Merrick Garland as to how best to handle this matter." Parlatore was one of the authors of a letter last month to the chairman of the House intelligence committee laying out a series of potential defenses in the investigation.
