Kremlin-linked Russian businessman paid for Trump Jr’s wedding after-party in Bahamas: Report

The payments were initially reported by ProPublica, with the report stating that they included the cost of renting a private island and fireworks display. The lavish gift was allegedly extended by Umar Kremlev, president of the International Boxing Association, two people familiar to the matter told NYT.

When asked about whether he was aware that Kremlev had paid the expenses for the after-party, a statement was provided by the White House to NYT. In the statement, Trump said he had “no idea who Umar is, never heard of him.” However, the President said that the businessman had reportedly paid for the “after-party”, adding that it was “not a big deal.”

“…He didn’t pay for Don and Bettina’s wedding, which took place at a totally different location, and on a different day,” the US President said.
