Trump’s eldest son repays Russian businessman’s wedding sponsorship, citing 'Dad told me to'

President Donald Trump said his eldest son has returned funds to a Russian businessman who previously helped cover part of the costs for his son’s wedding.

Responding to a question from Agence France-Presse, Trump stated: “As far as I know, he returned the money. When I found out about it, I asked him, and he said, ‘Dad, I’ll return the money to him.’ This happened not long ago, so as far as I know, he has already done so.”

The wedding of Donald Trump Jr. and his wife, Vanessa, took place in May. In September, ProPublica published an investigation alleging that Umar Kremlev, chairman of the International Boxing Association and owner of UNK Holding, paid for the rental of a private island and fireworks display associated with the event. Donald Trump Jr. previously described his relationship with the businessman as personal. Vanessa Trump clarified that “dear friend Umar arranged two unforgettable celebration nights after our wedding,” though she emphasized he did not participate in the ceremony itself.
