Donald Trump Jr. is being investigated over national security and corruption concerns after it was revealed that his lavish Bahamas wedding celebration was funded in part by a Russian oligarch with close ties to Vladimir Putin.
Umar Kemlev, head of the International Boxing Association (IBA), spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on the reception for Trump and his partner, socialite Bettina Anderson, including renting a private island and paying for a massive fireworks display, according to a bombshell report from ProPublica.
While Kremlev did not attend the small wedding ceremony itself, he and several associates were part of a larger guest list of around 50 people—including Trump Jr.’s brother-in-law Jared Kushner, who is supposed to be brokering a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine—who joined the Trumps for their wider celebrations in the Bahamas.
