Senator Calls for Investigation into Trump Family's Financial Dealings
Republican Senator John Curtis is calling for an investigation into the Trump family's financial dealings. In a letter to the leaders of the Senate Judiciary Committee, he asked them to examine how presidential relationships are used 'for private financial benefit, preferential treatment, or access by domestic and foreign interests.'
Curtis specifically mentioned Donald Trump Jr.'s crypto ventures and his lavish wedding celebration funded by a Russian oligarch. This is a sharp break with President Donald Trump, who has not publicly commented on the matter.
The investigation would focus on whether the Trump family used their positions for personal gain or to benefit foreign interests. Curtis did not specify what he hopes to achieve through this investigation.
