Senator seeks probe into Trump Jr. wedding financed by Putin-linked donor

A Republican senator asks the Senate Judiciary Committee to subpoena Donald Trump Jr. over alleged corruption after ProPublica reported that Umar Kremlev, a Russian boxing official with ties to Vladimir Putin, helped pay for part of Trump Jr.’s Bahamas wedding, including private island rental and a fireworks display. Trump described the funds as reimbursed and common when given as gifts, while the senator argues the arrangement warrants scrutiny given foreign ties and potential value linked to his father.

AG Todd Blanche says a federal probe into Umar Kremlev, who funded parts of Donald Trump Jr.'s wedding, is unlikely, even as Democrats press for records about the gift; the Trump family denies knowledge of Kremlev and characterizes the gift as generous, with ProPublica noting payments came from an IBA-linked entity and the FBI weighing any information that appears.
