Republican senator: Subpoena Trump Jr., Hunter Biden
Sen. John Curtis wants to investigate “the use of presidential family relationships for private financial benefit” by both parties.
Senator John Curtis has proposed a congressional investigation into Donald Trump Jr. amid allegations of ties to a Russian oligarch. The Utah senator, along with the Republican-controlled Senate Judiciary Committee, has requested subpoenas for both Trump Jr. and Hunter Biden as part of the probe. Curtis expressed concerns about the president's son's involvement in wedding festivities paid for by Russian oligarch Umar Kremlev, as well as Trump Jr.'s promotion of family-backed cryptocurrency ventures, foreign real estate deals, and defense contractor investments.
Additionally, Curtis raised questions about Hunter Biden's business dealings with foreign countries during his father's tenure either as vice president or in his presidential campaign. Curtis emphasized the importance of determining whether current laws are sufficient to prevent the presidency from being used for private enrichment by individuals close to the administration.
