Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said Monday that the Trump administration is \u201cselling out\u201d every American when discussing a Russian oligarch\u2019s involvement in Donald Trump Jr.\u2019s wedding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lawmaker was asked what she made of Trump Jr.\u2019s wedding in May being partially funded by Russian oligarch Umar Kremlev, who is linked to Russian President Vladimir Putin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI mean, as we\u2019ve seen, these guys are in the pocket of everyone but the American people. It\u2019s profoundly disturbing,\u201d Ocasio-Cortez said. \u201cI said it two years ago, and I\u2019m saying it again. This administration \u2026 they are selling out every single person in this country for a buck, and it\u2019s disgusting.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAnd for what? To have a couple of extra frills at your wedding? It\u2019s disgusting,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A ProPublica report published Monday alleged that Kremlev helped to pay for wedding expenses in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, citing records and three sources with knowledge of the event. Kremlev reportedly helped rent an island and put up the money for a fireworks show at the wedding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Model and influencer Bettina Trump, Trump Jr.\u2019s wife, defended Kremlev\u2019s involvement in the wedding, writing on social media, \u201cOur dear friend Umar very generously hosted two incredible nights of celebrations for us AFTER our wedding.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt was an extraordinarily generous wedding gift from a friend, and something for which we were and remain incredibly grateful,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The two married in West Palm Beach, Fla., according to Palm Beach County marriage records. The newlyweds then went to a private island in the Bahamas for a larger wedding celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.), the ranking member on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, has called for answers regarding Kremlev\u2019s gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhy did a Russian oligarch close to Putin fund Trump Jr.\u2019s wedding in the Bahamas? Umar Kremlev spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on the President\u2019s son. What did he get in return? We need answers,\u201d Garcia wrote on the social platform X.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
