  "summary": "Donald Trump Jr. and socialite Bettina Anderson got married in the Bahamas in May. Their wedding party was partially funded by Umar Kremlev, a Russian oligarch with close ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to ProPublica. Kremlev helped pay for renting a private island and a fireworks show.\n\nPresident Donald Trump defended his son's wedding party, saying it's \"totally allowed\" and that he was told the money would be paid back. He mentioned that he heard Kremlev was paid back, but did not elaborate.\n\nBettina Trump later posted on Instagram that Kremlev, head of the International Boxing Association, was a \"dear friend\" who \"very generously hosted two incredible nights of celebrations\" for the couple after their wedding. She said she and Donald Trump Jr. had a private ceremony surrounded only by family.",
