Epstein Cabinet
Former cabinet of the Republic
The Epstein Cabinet was the second cabinet of the Republic, formed on October 15, 2025. The cabinet was appointed by President Galvin after the Fritz Incident, when MO-U party leader Dominic Fritz, fled the country, and revealed that MO-U had been propped up by blackmail and coercion. The incident led to popular outrage, and Galvin dismissed the cabinet immediately instead of waiting for a government to form after the election that had been held that week. It was led by Harvey Epstein, a respected civil servant, and served for only two days before Tsai Ing-wen's third cabinet was formed.
