Rachel Maddow shares details of new reporting from ProPublica that Donald Trump Jr.'s lavish weekend wedding celebration was largely paid for by a "very generous" Russian oligarch who even helped plan the festivities despite there being some questions about just how well he knows the couple or what he might expect in return for his generosity. Brett Murphy, investigative reporter with ProPublica, joins to talk about the report.
Brand new reporting in ProPublica reveals that Don Jr.'s Bahamas wedding this past May was "heavily funded by a secret benefactor: Umar Kremlev, a Russian oligarch close to President Vladimir Putin. Kremlev footed the bill for hundreds of thousands of dollars of wedding expenses, according to records reviewed by ProPublica and interviews with three people familiar with the event." In response to the reporting, Don Jr. did not deny the payments, calling Kremlev a “friend." Nicolle Wallace is joined by Joshua Kaplan, who is bylined on this story, and Andrew Weissmann for analysis on Deadline White House.
