Bettina Trump, Don Jr.'s wife, defends having a Putin ally finance part of their wedding trip, saying he was simply "our dear friend." Such a dear friend that brother Eric's rep told @propublica that “Eric has absolutely no clue who this person is, nor has never heard his name.”

Donald Trump Jr.'s island wedding extravaganza was partially funded and planned by a Russian oligarch who is close to Putin and attended part of the multi-day outing. Don Jr calls him a "personal friend." @JustinElliott @BrettMmurphy @js_kaplan @Amierjeski https://www.propublica.org/article/donald-trump-jr-wedding-bankrolled-russian-oligarch-umar-kremlev-putin
