- Senate Republican Makes Stunning Move Against Trump Family — Petitions for Off...
Hunter Biden (AP Photo/Eric Thayer, File); Donald Trump Jr. (AP Photo/Richard Drew) In a shocking move, a Republican Senator has called for a probe of Donald Trump Jr. and the Trump family businesses — and says both the current presidential scion and Hunter Biden should testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Sen. John Curtis (R-UT) cited Americans’ lack of trust in the federal government and highlighted recent reports that Russian oligarch Umar Kremlev paid for a lavish afterparty for Donald Trump Jr.’s recent wedding in calling on the Senate Judiciary Committee to investigate “the use presidential family relationships for private financial benefit preferential treatment, or access by domestic and foreign interests.” Curtis also highlighted reports of Hunter Biden’s business dealings in Ukraine while his father, former President Joe Biden, was in office as motivation for his Monday letter to committee chair Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and ranking member Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL). Curtis wrote in part: These reports raise legitimate questions about foreign access to members of a sitting president’s family and whether such relationships can create actual or perceived expectations of favorable treatment. They also may create expectations of a returned favor that would not be in the best interests of the American people or our allies, and could even create national security vulnerabilities. The country should not have to accept one standard for the family of a Republican president and another for the family of a Democratic president. Nor should congressional oversight begin and end when control of the White House changes hands. I therefore respectfully request that the Senate Judiciary Committee launch an investigation into the use of presidential family relationships for private financial benefit, preferential treatment, or access by domestic and foreign interests. As part of that investigation, I urge the Committee to subpoena Donald Trump Jr. and Hunter Biden to testify regarding their past business dealings, relationships with foreign individuals and entities, gifts, or other benefits they have received, and any instances in which their relationship to the President was invoked or understood to provide value. The purpose of such an inquiry should be straightforward: establish the facts, determine whether existing ethics, disclosure, or anti-corruption laws apply, and identify reforms necessary to prevent the presidency from becoming a vehicle for private enrichment by those closest to it.
