Blanche says investigation unlikely into Russian oligarch’s wedding gift to Trump Jr.

The U.S. Attorney General, Todd Blanche, seems unlikely to investigate Russian oligarch Umar Kremlev, who allegedly funded parts of Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding. Kremlev, linked to Russian President Vladimir Putin, reportedly paid for a private island rental and fireworks for the wedding festivities. Despite national security concerns, Blanche stated he has no information on Kremlev and questioned the need for an investigation. The Trump family denies knowing Kremlev, while First Lady Melania Trump distanced herself from the controversy, stating she was not involved in the wedding planning.
