WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican Sen. John Curtis of Utah is calling on the Senate Judiciary Committee to investigate whether Donald Trump Jr. used his proximity to the presidency for financial benefit, after his recent wedding party was partially bankrolled by a Russian oligarch.

In a letter sent Tuesday, Curtis called on the committee to subpoena Trump Jr. over his business dealings, relationships with foreign individuals and entities, gifts or other benefits he has received and any instances in which his relationship to President Donald Trump, a Republican, “was invoked or understood to provide value.” Curtis called for the same scrutiny of Hunter Biden, the son of former President Joe Biden, a Democrat.

“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,” Curtis wrote in the letter addressed to GOP Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, chairman of the committee, and Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, the top Democrat on the panel.

Lag usher,

I guess my pint wasn’t clear enough. I didn’t comment on the stupidity of the events (as we know them). I was reflecting on why at this early stage a Republican from Utah would be out front demanding a Senate probe. I posited 2 possibilities from perhaps a number of others.

Even Melania distanced herself from Trump, Jr.’s stupidness, on this multimillion dollar payment from the oligarch.

Melania refused to go to this oligarch’s island rental party.

This is why the GOP is stupid. Why would Don Jr. even consider having his wedding financed by a Russian, if true, knowing all the problems it would cause? Russia Russia Russia.

Agreed. It’s something a grifter would do. Donald Trump, Jr. has stepped on several rakes.

Curtis would have no problem if a European or Hollywood commie/LGBT had sent him a wedding present.

If the story is true, let’s thank the oligarch for helping Trump’s exemplary son.
