US government: Russian oligarch financed wedding of Trump's son with

Bettina Trump, the wife of Donald Trump Jr., has acknowledged on Instagram that Umar Kremlew, a Russian oligarch with ties to Vladimir Putin, helped finance the couple's wedding celebration on the Bahamas. Kremlew, the head of the IBA boxing federation, covered hundreds of thousands of dollars in costs, including renting a private island and a fireworks display.

Bettina Trump said Kremlew's contribution was a generous gift and not motivated by politics. Kremlew was recently awarded the Russian Order of Friendship by Putin and has accompanied him on a visit to China.
