What happened

Well supportedReported by 6 independent outlets

Senator John Curtis requested that the Senate Judiciary Committee investigate and subpoena Donald Trump Jr. and Hunter Biden regarding their business and personal dealings. The request was prompted by a ProPublica report alleging Donald Trump Jr.'s wedding after-party was financed by a Russian oligarch close to Vladimir Putin. Chuck Grassley, Chairman of the committee, stated he would take the request seriously.
