Democrats in Congress are investigating reports that Russian businessman Umar Kremlev paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for after-party celebrations following Donald Trump Jr. and Bettina Trump's May wedding in the Bahamas. Bettina Trump has reiterated that Kremlev hosted two nights of celebrations after, rather than funded, the private family wedding, describing the events as a generous gift without political intent. A spokesperson for Trump Jr. did not dispute the payments, called Kremlev a personal friend and said the pair have no business relationship. Kremlev attended the ceremony, according to ProPublica, and has ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Representative Robert Garcia said the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee was examining what Kremlev expected in return, while Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer called the arrangement a national-security concern.
