Republican Senator Calls for Investigation into Trump Family's Business Activities
Republican Senator John Curtis has requested a Senate investigation into whether the Trump family exploits President Donald Trump’s office for business gain, citing concerns over his son Donald Trump Jr.’s crypto and real estate ventures. Curtis also raised issues regarding payments from Russian oligarch Omar Kremlev for a Bahamian wedding, aligning with Democratic inquiries. This move reflects growing distance among prominent Republicans from the increasingly unpopular president ahead of the November 3 midterm elections, as candidates like Ashley Hinson and Mike Rogers criticize Trump’s policies on Iran and immigration. Meanwhile, major US news networks boycotted covering Trump’s helicopter landing ceremony at the White House in solidarity with CNN after he banned them from access. Additionally, UN special rapporteur Ben Saul stated that recent US attacks on boats in the Caribbean suspected of narcoterrorism violate international law and may constitute crimes against humanity.
