GOP revolt grows over Don Jr.’s wedding gift from Putin-linked oligarch

Trump Jr Donald Trump Jr. John Curtis Thom Tillis Umar Kremlev Vladimir Putin

Republican Senator Thom Tillis described Donald Trump Jr.’s Bahamas wedding celebrations as 'stupid on stilts' following reports that they were bankrolled by a Russian oligarch.
Russian oligarch Umar Kremlev, an ally of Vladimir Putin, helped fund a private island and fireworks show for Trump Jr. and his wife Bettina Anderson.
A growing number of Republican senators, including John Curtis and Thom Tillis, are supporting an investigation into whether Trump Jr. improperly benefited from his family connections.
Senator Curtis urged the Senate Judiciary Committee to subpoena Trump Jr., arguing that presidential family members from both parties should face equal scrutiny regarding foreign financial benefits.
President Donald Trump defended his son, claiming the funding was 'totally allowed' and stating he believed Trump Jr. was paying Kremlev back.
