About this episode

CBS News chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett joins the show to discuss reports that a lavish post-wedding celebration for Donald Trump Jr. was financed by Umar Kremlev , a Russian businessman with ties to the Kremlin and Russian President Vladimir Putin's inner circle. Garrett breaks down what is known about the relationship, why ethics experts say the arrangement raises questions, and how gifts, favors, and personal relationships can create lasting obligations in politics and business. The conversation also explores comparisons to past scrutiny of presidential family finances, the role of influence and access in Washington, and why appearances can matter just as much as actions when public trust is on the line.
