Bettina Trump, wife of Donald Trump Jr., stated that a Russian oligarch and ally of Vladimir Putin bankrolled a lavish weekend of celebration in the Bahamas following their May wedding. According to Bettina Trump, the festivities—described as two incredible nights of celebration—were a gift from a dear friend, emphasizing that friendship does not require a political motive.

The disclosure has generated fresh ethics questions regarding the U.S. president's family and their foreign financial ties. While the Russian oligarch funded the post-wedding nuptial parties, reports clarify that the benefactor did not pay for the actual wedding ceremony itself.
