Trump Jr.’s Bahamas wedding afterparty funded by Putin-linked boxing chief
Donald Trump Jr. and his wife Bettina disclosed that Umar Kremlev, a Russian oligarch with ties to Vladimir Putin and head of the International Boxing Association, paid for two Bahamas island afterparty nights following their wedding. ProPublica reported hundreds of thousands in wedding-related expenses were covered, including a fireworks show. The revelation has sparked questions about foreign influence and gifts to political figures, though President Trump said it was not a big deal. Kremlev has sanctions related to Russia and has appeared with Putin; the relationship between Trump Jr. and Kremlev’s circle remains not fully explained.
