A freshman Republican senator blindsided his colleagues this week with a call to investigate Donald Trump Jr. after a Russian oligarch paid for his lavish wedding celebration.
Senator John Curtis of Utah on Tuesday morning released a letter he sent to party leaders on the Senate Judiciary Committee expressing concern over the wedding celebration, which Trump Jr. and his wife have both acknowledged was paid for by the oligarch, who has ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Curtis’s letter raised alarms over the gift in light of Trump Jr.’s business dealings, which include his family’s cryptocurrency ventures and serving as an adviser to major prediction markets who hope to receive favorable regulation from the executive branch.
