GOP Sen. John Curtis calls for probe of Trump Jr. after wedding party bankrolled by Russian oligarch
Curtis said the probe should examine whether presidential family ties create private enrichment and national security risks, with subpoenas sought for both men.
- On Monday, Republican Senator John Curtis sent a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee demanding that Donald Trump Jr. and Hunter Biden be subpoenaed to testify regarding their past business dealings and relationships with foreign individuals.
- Reports revealed Russian oligarch Umar Kremlev funded a 'lavish wedding afterparty' for Trump Jr. in the Bahamas, prompting Curtis to label the gift 'corruption' last Friday and vow to reveal more details soon.
- Curtis also cited Hunter Biden's past foreign business dealings as justification, arguing, "The country should not have to accept one standard for the family of a Republican president and another for the family of a Democratic president."
- While Punchbowl News noted the request has 'next to zero chance' of advancing under a Republican majority, the move is 'very likely to upset President Donald Trump,' who regards questions about his family as out of bounds.
- Trump Jr. and wife Bettina Trump denied wrongdoing, calling the party a gift from a 'dear friend,' while Curtis seeks to determine whether current ethics laws sufficiently prevent the presidency from becoming a vehicle for private enrichment.
