Sen. John Curtis, R-Utah, wants Hunter Biden and Don Jr. to be dragged before Congress to testify.
In a letter sent to the Senate Judiciary Committee, Curtis asks for the first sons to be investigated amid claims that foreign interests used business dealings to purchase influence and gain access to the power of their fathers.

He argued that reports on the issue “raise legitimate questions about foreign access to members of a sitting president’s family and whether such a relationship can create actual or perceived expectations of favorable treatment.” Curtis specifically noted Hunter Biden’s “substantial business with foreign entities, including interests in China and Ukraine, while his father held or sought public office.” Meanwhile, ProPublica sounded alarm bells over Don Jr’s wedding to Bettina Trump, due to a weekend getaway that was funded by Russian oligarch Umar Kremlev. The blushing bride explained the gift in an Instagram post, but it appears her side of the story is not enough for Curtis to be satisfied.
He said the concerns stemming from such reports are “compounded by Donald Trump Jr.’s active promotion of family-backed cryptocurrency ventures, his continued pursuit of international real estate deals involving direct meetings with foreign heads of state, and his reported investments in defense contracting,” adding that the first son has “significant financial and advisory ties to prediction market platforms that depend on favorable federal regulatory decisions being considered by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.”
Ultimately, the Republican lawmaker is requesting that the committee launch a probe “into the use of presidential family relationships for private financial benefit, preferential treatment or access by domestic and foreign interests.”
“As part of that investigation, I urge the Committee to subpoena Donald Trump Jr. and Hunter biden to testify regarding their past busines dealings, relationships with foreign individuals and entities, gifts, or other benefits they have received, and any instances in which their relationship to the President was invoked or understood to provide value,” he wrote.
“Americans deserve confidence that public institutions serve them — not presidents, political parties, wealthy interests, or members of powerful families. Congress has an obligation to pursue credible concerns wherever they lead and without regard to party.”
