On September 14, 2026, the investigative site ProPublica revealed that Umar Kremlev, president of the International Boxing Association and close to Vladimir Putin, paid for part of Donald Trump Junior's wedding party in the Bahamas at the end of May. The bride and groom confirm an “extraordinarily generous wedding gift”. Donald Trump replies that he has never heard of this man. In this video: what ProPublica found, who Umar Kremlev is, how the Trump family is defending itself, why the Minister of Justice is not considering an investigation, what the American law really says about gifts from abroad, and how the president's fortune increased, according to Forbes, from 2.3 to 6.3 billion dollars in 2 years. For you, in France, Europe or Canada: who pays at the end of the chain, from buyers of the Trump token to American taxpayers, what the rules on gifts to the National Assembly, the European Parliament and Ottawa provide, the precedent of Justin Trudeau's vacation in the Bahamas, and the 3 deadlines to watch between now and November.
