Senator John Curtis urged a Senate Judiciary Committee probe into Donald Trump Jr. and Hunter Biden over crypto ties, foreign gifts and business dealings.
Senator John Curtis, a Republican from Utah, sent a letter to Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley and ranking member Dick Durbin requesting an investigation and subpoenas for Donald Trump Jr. and Hunter Biden. The letter asks the committee to examine "the use of presidential family relationships for private financial benefit, preferential treatment, or access by domestic and foreign interest."
Curtis cites Donald Trump Jr.'s acceptance of a wedding gift from Russian oligarch Umar Kremlev, his promotion of family‑backed cryptocurrency ventures, and advisory roles with prediction‑market platforms that fall under the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s jurisdiction.
The senator also calls for a probe of Hunter Biden, referencing "substantial business with foreign entities," a December 2024 presidential pardon for Hunter, and the son’s denial of involving his father in his business dealings.
The request follows prior Democratic calls for inquiries into the Trump family’s crypto activities and comes after Senate Republicans failed to pass the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act. Reporting on the matter is limited to the details provided in this article.
