Caption: Blanche Says Investigation Into Russian Oligarch's Gift To Trump Jr Is Unlikely. Attorney General Todd Blanche has indicated that an investigation into Russian oligarch Umar Kremlev's lavish wedding gift to Donald Trump Jr is unlikely. Kremlev reportedly spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on celebrations following Trump Jr's wedding to Bettina Anderson, including an island rental and fireworks display. Trump Jr and his wife have acknowledged receiving what they called an "extraordinarily generous" wedding gift from Kremlev, whom they described as a friend. Blanche said he had no information suggesting an investigation was warranted and questioned claims about Kremlev's relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin. President Donald Trump said he had never heard of Kremlev and stressed that the Russian businessman did not pay for the wedding itself but contributed to later celebrations. First Lady Melania Trump and Eric Trump also denied having any relationship with or knowledge of Kremlev. Democrati. Congressman Robert Garcia has launched a congressional inquiry, seeking records from Trump Jr and the White House concerning the gift and Kremlev relationship. FBI Director Kash Patel was also questioned about the controversy in the Senate but said he had not read the ProPublica investigation.
