US President Donald Trump is facing fresh criticism after a news report claimed that Russian businessman Umar Kremlev, described in the report as having close ties to Vladimir Putin, helped fund hundreds of thousands of dollars in expenses for Donald Trump Jr.’s lavish Bahamas wedding to Bettina Anderson. The reported spending allegedly included a private island rental, fireworks and other wedding arrangements. The revelation has triggered a new political storm, with Democrats demanding answers over why a Putin-linked figure would help pay for the U.S. president’s son’s wedding — and, crucially, what he may have expected in return. Rep. Robert Garcia publicly asked exactly that question.
