24 OUTLETSOutlets agree Sen. John Curtis asked Senate Judiciary leaders to investigate presidential-family business dealings and subpoena Donald Trump Jr. and Hunter Biden, following reports of a Russian oligarch’s payment for Trump Jr.’s wedding festivities. Left-leaning outlets foreground the reported payment and frame Curtis’s call as challenging uneven Republican scrutiny of presidential families. Center outlets mostly report the proposed inquiry into foreign ties and possible private benefits, alongside lawmakers’ responses and uncertainty about action. Right-leaning outlets present the request as scrutiny of both families, while Tampa Free Press centers Curtis’s stated transparency rationale.
