Republican senator calls for probe into US presidents’ sons, citing crypto ventures
Sen. John Curtis called for a Senate Judiciary Committee investigation into whether presidential family ties have been used for private financial gain, asking for subpoenas for Donald Trump Jr. and Hunter Biden. He cited Trump Jr.’s wedding gifts from Russian oligarch Umar Kremlev, his promotion of family-linked crypto ventures, and advisory roles in prediction markets. He also pointed to Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings and cases where his connection to the presidency may have added value. Curtis said the inquiry should determine whether ethics and anti-corruption laws apply and whether reforms are needed to prevent the presidency from becoming a vehicle for enrichment. The request comes amid broader, mostly Democratic, scrutiny of Trump family crypto dealings and stalled Senate action on crypto market structure legislation.
