  Molly, let's get the actual facts straight. According to Don Jr.’s new wife, their “dear friend Umar” (who only coincidentally is Russian oligarch and a friend of President Putin) did not pay for their wedding; he merely “hosted two incredible nights of celebrations … AFTER

  While it may be true ( and perhaps this why Trump skipped it) the story is based on a document they say they saw and interviews with three people, none of whom are identified in any way and no reference to any specifics in the docs is made like exactly how much was paid toward the wedding - we're told 100s of thousands yet if the document they saw…

  Wow. Top Oversight Democrat Robert Garcia just exposed details about Don Jr.’s Bahamas wedding was reportedly funded in part by a Russian oligarch with close ties to Putin. “Hundreds of thousands of dollars on the wedding of the son of the president.” Astounding corruption.

  1/ This @propublica.org story is just gobsmacking. As table stakes: why does a family of billionaires need help paying for weddings? And why would they accept from Russian oligarch with ties to Putin and FSB?

  Putin's oligarch Umar Kremlev sponsored Donald Trump Junior's three-day Bahamas wedding in May, paying the $100,000 private island rent as well as the $70,000 fireworks show.

  As someone with a family that is actually unbelievably unhinged and insane to the degree that most familial dysfunction typically comes across as tame to me, somehow to the very best of my knowledge none of us have ever gotten the Russian government to pay for any of our weddings (but then again it's not like I would know for sure though since I…

  So, to recap, Trump Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker and had a lavish wedding celebration on a private Caribbean island paid for by a “dear friend” who’s totally coincidentally Putin’s BFF . . . and no word yet from the White House on how the devious Joe Biden put it

  You will never not be just one election away from voting for an absolute f-ing liability ever again in any of your allies minds. This means everyone will have to act like the US could be an adversary at any moment, and will have to strengthen ties with others because that is the new reality. 30-35% of your country has lost its god damn mind.

  The oligarch, Umar Kremlev, spent hundreds of thousands on expenses like renting out a private island. He appears to have met Trump Jr. only recently, but he attended the intimate wedding with a large group of other Russian guests.

  Bettina Trump, Don Jr.'s wife, defends having a Putin ally finance part of their wedding trip, saying he was simply "our dear friend." Such a dear friend that brother Eric's rep told @propublica.org that “Eric has absolutely no clue who this person is, nor has never heard his name.”
