Donald Trump says Donald Trump Jr.'s wedding was a "small, little private affair"

President Donald Trump did not attend Donald Trump Jr.'s May wedding to Bettina Anderson in the Bahamas, citing official duties and the Iran conflict as poor timing; he had earlier hoped to go and played down the event's scale before staying in Washington. The celebration drew attention after ProPublica reported that Umar Kremlev, a Russian oligarch reportedly linked to President Vladimir Putin and president of the International Boxing Association, allegedly paid for post-nuptial events, including an island rental and a pyrotechnics display, through an organization linked to the boxing body. Anderson did not contest that account, describing the support as a friend's generosity, saying the ceremony was limited to relatives and denying any hidden explanation. A Trump Jr. representative told ProPublica the men were friends without commercial ties. The outlet's findings have not been independently verified by ABC News.
