U.S. President Donald Trump said Friday that his son Donald Trump Jr. repaid a Russian oligarch who funded part of his wedding celebrations in the Bahamas, after concerns arose over potential foreign influence and ethics violations. According to The Hill, Trump made the claim during an interview in the Oval Office. Meanwhile, Republican Senator John Curtis (R-Utah) criticized the situation, calling it 'corruption' and vowing to address it further. France24 reported that Trump stated his son had repaid the Kremlin-linked businessman, though no specific details were provided about the repayment. The incident has sparked debate over the appropriateness of accepting such gifts and the potential for foreign influence in U.S. political affairs.
