Republican Sen. John Curtis of Utah asks leaders of the Senate Judiciary Committee to subpoena Donald Trump Jr. and Hunter Biden and to investigate alleged business dealings involving presidential family members. In a letter to the committee, Curtis calls for testimony from both men as part of a broader inquiry into whether family relationships connected to the presidency are used for private financial gain.
Across outlets, the described focus of the probe centers on the “use of presidential family relationships” for benefit, with CBS framing it as an investigation into that alleged pattern. The Hill and the Washington Post both report that Curtis is seeking scrutiny not only of Trump Jr. but also of Hunter Biden, and that his request includes investigating business dealings involving the President and former President’s respective family members. The coverage also notes Curtis cites reporting about foreign interests and their alleged connections to the two men.
The outlets vary mainly in how they summarize the scope and rationale—some emphasizing “private financial benefit,” while others describe the letter’s inclusion of both Presidents’ business-related family activity—but all report that the request is directed to the Judiciary Committee and seeks sworn testimony via subpoenas.
