Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez stated on Monday that the Trump administration is selling out every American citizen, following reports that a Russian oligarch helped fund the wedding of Donald Trump Jr. As reported by The Hill, the lawmaker made her comments after information surfaced regarding the involvement of Umar Kremlev, a Russian oligarch with ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin, in the wedding festivities held this past May.
According to a report published Monday, Kremlev allegedly covered hundreds of thousands of dollars in expenses related to the event. The report, which cites records and three sources with knowledge of the celebration, claims that Kremlev helped rent a private island and paid for a fireworks display. While the couple legally married in West Palm Beach, Florida, according to county records, the larger celebration took place on a private island in the Bahamas.
