Trump says Donald Trump Jr. will repay Russian oligarch for funding Bahamas wedding party
President Donald Trump said on September 18, 2026 that his son Donald Trump Jr. told him he would repay Russian oligarch Umar Kremlev for bankrolling a Bahamas wedding celebration in May 2026. ProPublica reported Kremlev spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on the event, including a private island rental and fireworks. A GOP senator called the arrangement "corruption," and the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee is probing Kremlev's role.
