Democrats Want Answers About Donald Trump Jr.'s Island Wedding Party Funded By Russian Oligarch

The ranking Democrat on the House Oversight Committee has launched an inquiry into Donald Trump Jr.'s May wedding celebration in the Bahamas after learning that the event was apparently bankrolled by a Russian oligarch with ties to Vladimir Putin.

"As the son of President Donald Trump and the part-owner and major investor of multiple companies with extensive Department of Defense contracts, any apparent ties to members of Russian President Vladimir Putin's inner circle raises serious questions about pay-to-play schemes and foreign intelligence infiltration of the President's family," wrote Democrat Robert Garcia in a letter to White House Chief of Staff Susan Wiles.
