内容摘要
- 贝蒂娜·特朗普称克雷姆列夫支付的是两场派对而非婚礼本身的费用
- 舒默称该安排构成国家安全威胁，可能属于外国贿赂
- 民主党正准备针对特朗普家族企业展开更广泛的道德调查
华盛顿9月15日路透电——美国国会民主党人本周启动一项调查，针对有关一名俄罗斯寡头今年早些时候为总统唐纳德·特朗普之子的婚礼庆典支付数十万美元费用的报道。
民主党此举此前，ProPublica发布的一篇报道披露，国际拳击协会主席、俄罗斯富商乌马尔·克雷姆列夫为今年5月在巴哈马举行的小唐纳德·特朗普婚礼庆典支付了费用。

该报道称，克雷姆列夫与俄罗斯政府关系密切。
“一名俄罗斯寡头、弗拉基米尔·普京的友人为何要为总统之子提供资金支持？乌马尔·克雷姆列夫为这场在巴哈马举办的为期三天的婚礼提供资助，期望得到什么回报？”众议员罗伯特·加西亚周二在社交媒体发文问道。
加西亚是众议院监督与政府改革委员会资深民主党议员，若民主党在11月中期选举中赢得众议院多数席位，他预计将担任该委员会主席。
小特朗普的一名代表拒绝置评。
他的妻子贝蒂娜·特朗普周一在Instagram发帖称，克雷姆列夫是一位朋友，送上了“极为慷慨的结婚贺礼”，并强调克雷姆列夫支付的是两场派对而非婚礼本身的费用。

克雷姆列夫和国际拳击协会周二未回应置评请求。
未出席儿子婚礼的特朗普总统在一份声明中表示，他不认识克雷姆列夫，这场婚礼争议“没什么大不了的！”
共和党籍众议员、该委员会主席肯塔基州的詹姆斯·科默的助手未立即回应置评请求。
加西亚和其他众议院民主党领袖早已准备好针对特朗普、其家族以及自2025年1月总统第二任期开始以来出现的道德问题展开调查。
纽约州参议院民主党领袖查克·舒默周二称，这一婚礼相关安排“如此腐败、如此唯利是图，如此危及我们的国家安全”。
舒默在参议院演讲中补充道：“你面对的是一名俄罗斯寡头，而不只是送你礼物的表亲……有时候结婚礼物就是外国独裁者的贿赂。”

Summary
- Bettina Trump says Kremlev paid for two after-parties, not wedding itself
- Schumer called the arrangement a national security threat and possible foreign bribe
- Democrats are preparing broader ethics inquiries into Trump family businesses
WASHINGTON, Sept 15 (Reuters) – Democrats in the U.S. Congress launched an investigation this week into reports that a Russian oligarch paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for the wedding celebrations of President Donald Trump’s son earlier this year.
The Democrats’ move comes on the heels of an article by ProPublica, opens new tab that Umar Kremlev, a wealthy Russian businessman and president of the International Boxing Association, paid for wedding festivities for Donald Trump Jr. in the Bahamas in May.

The report said that Kremlev has close ties to the Russian government.
“Why is a Russian oligarch and friend of Vladimir Putin financially supporting the President’s son? What does Umar Kremlev expect in return for funding this three-day wedding in the Bahamas?” Representative Robert Garcia wrote on Tuesday in a social media post.
Garcia is the senior Democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and is expected to chair the panel if Democrats win a majority in the House of Representatives in November’s midterm elections.
A representative for Don Jr declined to comment.
His wife, Bettina Trump, said in an Instagram post on Monday that Kremlev was a friend who had extended an “extraordinarily generous wedding gift,” stressing that Kremlev had paid for two after-parties, not the wedding itself.

Kremlev and the IBA did not respond to requests for comment on Tuesday.
The president, who did not attend his son’s wedding, said in a statement that he did not know Kremlev and that the wedding controversy was “not a big deal!”
Aides to Republican Representative James Comer of Kentucky, who chairs the committee, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Garcia and other leading House Democrats already have been gearing up for probes into Trump, his family and ethics questions that have arisen since the start of the president’s second term in January 2025.
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer of New York on Tuesday called the wedding arrangement “so corrupt, so venal, so endangering our national security.”
In a speech to the Senate, Schumer added, “You’re dealing with a Russian oligarch, not just a cousin who’s giving you a gift…sometimes a wedding gift is a bribe from a foreign autocrat.”
