Curtis emphasizes the need for transparency and accountability in government institutions, advocating for credible investigations nonetheless of political party affiliations.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Well, this is certainly one type of a \u201cbipartisan\u201d investigation request.<\/p>\n<p>Utah Republican Sen. John Curtis raised quite a few eyebrows across Washington, D.C., when he announced Monday that he\u2019s officially requesting investigations into a pair of first sons \u2014 one Democrat, and one Republican.<\/p>\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.curtis.senate.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/09.21.2026-Curtis-Letter-to-Senate-Judiciary-re_-Don-Jr.-Hunter-Biden-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">letter<\/a> to Sen. Chuck Grassley, the chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Curtis revealed that he is formally requesting an investigation to be launched into former first son Hunter Biden and current first son Donald Trump Jr.<\/p>\n<p>And Curtis framed this request as an important facet of re-establishing some much-needed trust in the federal government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTrust in our government institutions continues to fall to near historic lows,\u201d Curtis wrote in his letter. \u201cAccording to the Partnership for Public Service, only 27% of Americans have trust in the federal government, while 72% say it is \u2018corrupt.\u2019 There are many reasons for this, but an important one is the perception that those with close proximity to political power are provided with opportunities, access, and treatment unavailable to ordinary Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat concern should not depend on which party controls the White House.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Curtis first mentioned Hunter Biden, whose laundry list of issues \u2014 from Burisma to tax evasion \u2014 ultimately mounted to nothing due to his father\u2019s pardon of him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe son of former President Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, conducted substantial business with foreign entities, including interests in China and Ukraine, while his father held or sought public office,\u201d Curtis said.<\/p>\n<p>But then the Republican lawmaker set his sights on one of his own.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMore recently, questions have arisen about the relationships of President Trump\u2019s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., with foreign business figures and the acceptance of significant gifts,\u201d Curtis said. \u201cThese include a lavish wedding afterparty, on a private island, provided by Russian oligarch Umar Kremlev, who reportedly traveled to China as part of a delegation accompanying Vladimir Putin shortly before giving the gift.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese concerns are compounded by Donald Trump Jr.\u2019s active promotion of family-backed cryptocurrency ventures, his continued pursuit of international real estate deals involving direct meetings with foreign heads of state, and his reported investments in defense contracting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis pattern extends to his significant financial and advisory ties to prediction-market platforms that depend on favorable federal regulatory decisions being considered by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Those are not small allegations against Trump Jr., who had largely avoided the sort of spurious headlines that hounded Hunter Biden in the previous administration.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis again took specific aim at Trump Jr. in an X post announcing his investigation request:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">A toaster is a wedding gift.
