A Republican senator is demanding that the Senate Judiciary Committee subpoena Donald Trump Jr. and Hunter Biden. He is arguing that recent revelations about foreign money and presidential family ties deserve the same scrutiny Republicans once applied to the latter’s overseas business deals.
John Curtis asks Senate Judiciary Committee to examine Donald Trump Jr. dealings
Sen. John Curtis, R-Utah, sent a letter on Monday to committee leaders Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Dick Durbin, D-Ill. He wants the panel to issue a subpoena forcing both men to answer questions under oath. Curtis seeks testimony on “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.”
The Utah senator acted after reports surfaced that Russian oligarch Umar Kremlev, who maintains ties to Vladimir Putin, funded Donald Trump Jr.’s post-wedding celebration in the Caribbean in May. Trump Jr. and his wife, Bettina, confirmed the arrangement on Instagram, describing it as “an extraordinarily generous wedding gift from a friend.”
Curtis argues the arrangement raises uncomfortable questions. “These reports raise legitimate questions about foreign access to members of a sitting president’s family and whether such relationships can create actual or perceived expectations of favorable treatment,” he said. He warned that such ties “may create expectations of a returned favor that would not be in the best interests of the American people or our allies, and could even create national security vulnerabilities.”
The senator also took his argument to X. “A toaster is a wedding gift. A private-island party paid for by a Putin-connected oligarch is something else,” he wrote. He reminded Republicans that they “nearly wore out the subpoena machine investigating Hunter Biden’s foreign relationships” and insisted, “We should not unplug it now.” Durbin endorsed the push.
A committee spokesperson confirmed receipt of Curtis’ letter but noted hearing dates are scarce through year’s end.
