    A Wedding Gift for the President’s Son Raises Ethical Concerns

    A Russian businessman with ties to the #Kremlin paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for a wedding after-party in the Bahamas for #DonaldTrumpJr.

    By Ben Protess, Sept. 14, 2026

    Excerpt: "A Russian businessman with ties to the Kremlin paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to help finance Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding after-party in the Bahamas this year, according to two people with knowledge of the matter. The payments represented an extraordinary flouting of ethical norms for an American president’s family.

    "To avoid foreign influence, a president’s family is generally expected to steer clear of these sorts of personal and pricey gifts, particularly from someone in a country like #Russia, an adversary known to surreptitiously push its geopolitical agenda. The concern, ethics experts say, is that a foreign actor could ply a president’s family member with gifts and eventually expect something in return.

    "Mr. Trump, the president’s eldest son, accepted the gifts from #UmarKremlev, the president of the #InternationalBoxingAssociation, according to the people with knowledge of the matter. The payments, reported earlier by ProPublica, included the cost of renting a private island and a fireworks display.

    "Mr. Kremlev reportedly stood out at the after-party. Some of Mr. Trump’s guests questioned who he was and why he was there, according to one of the people with knowledge of the matter.

    "After ProPublica reported on Mr. Kremlev’s payments, Mr. Trump and his new wife, Bettina Trump, posted a statement to Instagram acknowledging the gifts."

Western sanctions damaged their fortunes, but they also closed many escape routes and made Russia’s richest men even more dependent on the Kremlin. ..."
