Democrats on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee are launching a probe into Michael Boulos, the son-in-law of President Trump, following reports he and his cousin brokered a deal with a Saudi businessman to provide the appearance of access to the Trump family.

A spokesperson for Boulos previously denied reporting from The New York Times that found Boulos, through his cousin, discussed an invitation to his wedding to Tiffany Trump for Saudi businessman Abdulelah Allam in exchange for $100,000. President Trump attended the wedding, held on Nov. 12, 2022, at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida, along with other members of his family.

“This revelation, if accurate, would represent a corrupt and reckless attempt by the Trump family to leverage proximity to Donald Trump for personal enrichment. Further, it raises serious questions as to whether financial conflicts of interest have influenced the administration’s foreign policy at the expense of American national security,” House Oversight ranking member Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) wrote in a letter obtained by The Hill.

“The Committee demands to understand the details of this arrangement and whether you are continuing to leverage your position to sell access to President Trump.”
