A Russian businessman close to Vladimir Putin paid for Donald Trump Jr.’s island getaway in May, something the couple called "an extraordinarily generous wedding gift from a friend." Months later, President Donald Trump said his son paid the man back, calling the operation "totally allowed."
Trump Jr. and his wife, Bettina, previously confirmed the spending on social media after ProPublica reported that Umar Kremlev paid for "hundreds of thousands of dollars of wedding expenses," including renting out one of the private islands in the Bahamas where there was a reception and where guests stayed.
President Donald Trump also previously said he would not attend the May 22 wedding between Trump Jr. and the Palm Beach socialite formerly known as Bettina Anderson. The pair was legally married in a small ceremony in Florida on May 21 before hosting the larger wedding celebration in the Bahamas.
