Why is a Russian oligarch footing the bill for Donald Jr.'s wedding? Is the Trump family not making enough money off their crypto grift and other schemes? Do they need to sell out American interests to Russia for a cheap buck as well?

The Trump Response: "It’s unfortunate that something so personal and happy can be recast as something political or sinister simply because of who someone is or where they come from."🤮

According to the bride, it wasn't the wedding but the lavish after party that this guy paid for. She is so upset she commented on Instagram. lol, she doesn't get it that doesn't matter if it was for the wedding or a party. Nice of her to confirm he did pay for it. bsky.app/profile/nikk...

Bettina Trump, wife of Trump Jr., posts a lengthy Instagram caption responding to @propublica.org’s reporting that a Russian oligarch paid for over $170,000 of her wedding.

For people who didn't read her post, she states the party was a gift from the Russian oligarch. Where he got the money isn't the point of this, it's that she and Don Jr. accepted something of "extraordinary" value from a person with ties to Russian security services and Putin, and under sanctions.

A retired FBI official put it this way: “If I’m paying for your wedding, at some point you’re going to owe me something.” He’s exactly right. How naive do you have to be to think that American public will think they are just friends...

Trump to Putin, "Listen, I'll tell Zelensky to back off your refineries but Jr. needs some money for the wedding. Do you know a guy who can help him?"
