A spokesperson for Eric Trump, who also attended the wedding, said of Kremlev: "Eric has absolutely no clue who this person is, nor has never heard his name."

The guest list numbered around 50. It included Trump Jr.'s brother-in-law Jared Kushner, Eric Trump — and Kremlev, an imposing man with a shaved head who speaks limited English. The oligarch was part of a large group whose presence puzzled other attendees. They sometimes stood off by themselves, speaking Russian.
"It was really small, like, just really close friends," Trump Jr. later said on his podcast.
"Tried to keep it really tight. And it was just awesome."
