- Donald Trump Jr. let a Russian oligarch with Kremlin ties pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to finance his wedding after-party in the Bahamas this year, according to Sen. John Curtis (R-Utah).
- Curtis on Friday called the gift "corruption" and pledged further action, though the source text cuts off before his full statement is delivered.
Why it matters: Curtis's rebuke from within the GOP puts public intra-party pressure on the Trump family over foreign money flowing into personal events, while competing headlines from India Today, The Hill, and the New York Post instead lead with Trump's counter-claim that Don Jr. has already paid the oligarch back.
