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."

#RussianParliament approves a bill punishing online searches for information deemed ‘#extremist’
Updated 6:47 AM EDT, July 25, 2025
MOSCOW (AP) — "The Russian parliament’s upper house on Friday quickly approved a bill that punishes #OnlineSearches for information officially branded 'extremist,' the latest in a series of moves by authorities to tighten control of the internet.
The legislation makes what it describes as 'deliberately searching for and accessing extremist materials' online punishable by a fine of up to the equivalent of $64.
"The bill, which was endorsed by the lower house earlier this week, is now set to be signed into law by President Vladimir #Putin.
The official definition of extremist activity is extremely broad and includes opposition groups like the #AntiCorruptionFoundation, created by the late opposition leader #AlexeiNavalny, and the 'international #LGBT movement.'
"It’s not clear how authorities will track down violators.
"Officials and lawmakers said ordinary internet users won’t be affected and only those who methodically seek outlawed content will be targeted. They didn’t explain how authorities would differentiate between them.
"Russians widely use #VPN services for access to #BannedContent, but authorities have sought to tighten restrictions and close the loopholes. The state communications watchdog has increasingly used technology to analyze traffic and block specific VPN protocols.
"Russian authorities have ramped up their multipronged #crackdown on dissent after sending troops into #Ukraine in February 2022.
"Since then, online #censorship and prosecutions for social media posts and comments have soared.
"Multiple independent news outlets and rights groups have been shut down, labeled as 'foreign agents' or outlawed as 'undesirable.' Hundreds of #activists and critics of the #Kremlin have faced criminal charges."

Story by Liam Archacki
"In his disclosure, Berulis said he became concerned when he saw peculiar spikes in data leaving the agency after DOGE staffers—who insisted that their actions not be tracked in the system—gained access. He also observed suspicious log-in attempts from an IP address in #Russia using DOGE’s new accounts."
