Utah Senator Urges Judiciary Committee Probe into Business Dealings of Trump Jr. and Hunter Biden

Salt Lake City, UT, September 22, 2026 —

Utah Senator John Curtis has formally requested that the Senate Judiciary Committee launch an investigation into the business dealings of Donald Trump Jr. and Hunter Biden. The senator’s call is focused on uncovering potential conflicts of interest that may have arisen due to their family ties while their respective fathers occupied the office of the presidency.

Senator Curtis specifically pointed to reports concerning foreign influence as a key reason for pursuing this inquiry. He stated that such an investigation is necessary to uphold public trust and to ensure that the office of the presidency is not leveraged for personal financial gain.

The specific details regarding the scope of the proposed investigation, the timeline for any potential hearings, or the exact nature of the alleged foreign influence were not provided in the senator’s statement. Similarly, the precise business dealings or the nature of the conflicts of interest that Senator Curtis wishes to explore remain to be fully detailed by the committee should it agree to the inquiry. The contractor’s name for any potential investigation was not provided. The fine amount was not provided.

This initiative by Senator Curtis aims to address concerns about the intersection of family connections, political power, and private business activities. The senator’s office has indicated that the goal is to strengthen transparency and accountability within the executive branch, regardless of political affiliation. The Senate Judiciary Committee has not yet publicly responded to the request for an investigation.
