A top Democrat in the House is investigating Russian oligarch Umar Kremlev's involvement in an expensive event he gifted Donald Trump Jr. to celebrate his wedding after a bombshell report, raising questions about the Trump family’s financial ties to foreign figures.
Rep. Robert Garcia, the ranking Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, sent letters to both White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and Trump Jr. seeking records related to Kremlev and his involvement in the May celebration in the Bahamas, Axios reports.
According to the damning ProPublica report, Kremlev covered hundreds of thousands of dollars in event expenses, including one of the two private islands used for the celebration and a fireworks display. Kremlev is the president of the International Boxing Association, which receives financing from Russian state-owned energy giant Gazprom, and he is known to have close ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
