GOP Sen. John Curtis calls for probe of Trump Jr. after wedding party bankrolled by Russian oligarch

Republican Sen. John Curtis of Utah wants the Senate Judiciary Committee to investigate and subpoena Donald Trump Jr. after his wedding party was partially bankrolled by a Russian oligarch. The committee's top Democrat supports Curtis’ request. Curtis wrote Tuesday it needs to be investigated whether Trump Jr. used his proximity to the presidency for financial benefit. Curtis wants a similar investigation into Hunter Biden, ex-President Joe Biden's son. Republicans have become emboldened to break from President Donald Trump as anger builds over the Iran war and rising gas prices. Trump says the Russian oligarch's money will be paid back. House Republicans spent much of 2023 and 2024 investigating the Bidens, who deny wrongdoing.
