> Curtis' letter comes after he posted a video on X Friday saying that reports that Donald Trump Jr.'s two-day wedding afterparty in May had been funded by a Russian oligarch with close ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin "stink" and are "corruption."
## Trump's Response to Claims
President Trump stated his son repaid the oligarch for the afterparty costs though no public evidence of repayment exists.

## Sen. Durbin Supports Investigation
