A few weeks before the midterm elections, a Republican senator called for an investigation into the Trump family's financial dealings, including a request to summon Donald Trump Jr., to testify. This move clearly contradicted the president's position. Utah Senator John Curtis accuses Trump Jr., of allowing a Russian oligarch close to the Russian leader to fund his wedding festivities. According to ProPublica, the news website that first disclosed the matter, the oligarch named Umar Kremlev undertook hundreds of thousands of dollars in expenses, including leasing a private island in the Caribbean. The Republican senator posted on social media on Tuesday morning: “A toaster is considered a wedding present. Private island parties, paid for by oligarchs close to Putin, are completely different in nature. Back then, in order to investigate Hunter Biden's overseas connections, the Republican Party almost scrapped the subpoena machine. We shouldn't turn off the machine now.”
