Bettina Trump, the wife of Donald Trump Jr., says a Russian oligarch paid for “two incredible nights of celebration” in the Bahamas after her wedding, but was not involved in the wedding itself. She made the claim in an Instagram post, describing a sequence of events around the couple’s May marriage.
According to accounts reported by outlets, the couple holds a private marriage ceremony on a Friday in May, followed by a separate celebration the next weekend in the Bahamas. One outlet reports that the Bahamas event was planned before the wedding, placing the payment claim in the context of the post-ceremony gatherings rather than the legal nuptials. The remarks come as additional ethics questions continue to be raised about the Trump family and their possible ties to foreign figures.
While both sources focus on the same core contention—that the oligarch paid for parties but not the ceremony—they differ in how they describe the chronology and planning details of the Bahamas celebration, reflecting varying emphasis on the timeline and involvement.
