Sen. John Curtis, a Republican from Utah, is calling for Senate Judiciary leaders to subpoena the sons of former President Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr. and Hunter Biden. The senator is urging the investigation into potential private financial benefits, preferential treatment, or access that may have been granted to the presidential family due to their relationships with the President.
Curtis argues that the same congressional oversight should apply to the Trump family as it did in the case of Hunter Biden. The senator has cited examples of Russian oligarch Umar Kremlev funding Trump Jr.'s wedding in the Bahamas, as well as Trump Jr.'s business ties to prediction markets, defense-sector investments, and international real estate deals.
Curtis maintains that the subpoena machine should not be disengaged when investigating the Trump family, emphasizing that Republicans nearly used it extensively to scrutinize Hunter Biden's foreign relationships.
