GOP senator calls for subpoenaing Donald Trump Jr. and Hunter Biden to question them on their business dealings
A Republican senator is calling for an investigation into the business dealings of Donald Trump Jr.and Hunter Biden following the revelation that a Russian oligarch paid for Trump Jr.’s post-wedding festivities in the Caribbean earlier this year.
Sen.John Curtis, R-Utah, sent a letter Monday to the leaders of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Ranking Member Dick Durbin, D-Ill., requesting that the panel subpoena the president’s eldest son as well as former President Joe Biden’s son for testimony.
Curtis wants the two to provide information about “their past business dealings, relationships with foreign individuals and entities, gifts or other benefits they have received, and any instances in which their relationship to the President was invoked or understood to provide value.”Curtis noted that Hunter Biden has “denied involving his father in his business dealings,” but the senator suggested he benefited from his father’s service in public office.He also expressed concern about Russian oligarch Umar Kremlev, who has ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin, paying for Trump Jr.’s post-wedding celebration in May.
