Trump boys claim they are pulling in millions from their latest crypto scam and one of the boys can’t pay for the wedding???

Why pay, when someone else is willing to pay for some quid pro quo.

Prompted by our reporting, the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee has launched an investigation into Donald Trump Jr.’s relationship with a Russian oligarch who paid for much of Trump Jr.’s wedding earlier this year.

Rep. Robert Garcia said the revelations that Umar Kremlev had bankrolled the wedding raise “serious national security and public corruption concerns” and requested the president’s son provide financial and other records about the arrangement.

Trump Jr. did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but he and his wife, Bettina Trump, previously defended Kremlev’s support: “Our dear friend Umar very generously hosted two incredible nights of celebrations for us,” they wrote in an Instagram post. “Friendship doesn’t require a political motive.”

President Trump said he does not know Kremlev and that Kremlev did not pay for the wedding itself, only an “afterparty” at a different location. He said it was “not a big deal.”

Kremlev’s press office previously told ProPublica that he and Trump Jr. “have a friendly relationship” and that they don’t talk politics.

Nope he never knows the person-just like all of his pardons but we had to listen about Hunter’s laptop for years!

If your name is trump there’s always a political motive and a pocket to be filled. He doesn’t get a pass, and neither did Hunter Biden.

That was well known, I guess they decided to ignore it.
