Kremlev has also been a member of the Russian nationalist biker group Night Wolves.The revelation has raised questions in Washington. Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, said: “Umar Kremlev spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on the president’s son. What did he get in return? We need answers.”Trump Jr and Anderson rejected any political connection, saying: “Friendship doesn’t require a political motive. Generosity doesn’t automatically come with an agenda.” They added “NO CONSPIRACY, NO MYSTERY.”
