A new report from ProPublica alleges "a Russian oligarch close to Vladimir Putin" bankrolled Donald Trump Jr’s wedding in May, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on renting a private island and an extravagant firework show. CNN’s John Berman spoke to the author of the article, ProPublica reporter Joshua Kaplan, to learn more.
Donald Trump Jr. and his wife, Bettina Trump, responded in a statement "It’s unfortunate that something so personal and happy can be recast as something political or sinister simply because of who someone is or where they come from. Friendship doesn’t require a political motive.”
