U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche was asked if he would investigate Russian boxing chief Umar Kremlev's alleged financing of Donald Trump Jr.'s wedding festivities. However, Blanche stated that he had no plans to launch such an investigation. Blanche pointed out that Trump himself is unaware of Kremlev's identity, questioning why they should investigate someone he does not recognize.

Blanche also mentioned that Trump's son had reportedly accepted a gift from Kremlev at his wedding, but admitted that he lacked any information about Kremlev, thus unable to determine whether the claim of a close friendship with Putin was true or not.
