US Senator John Curtis has called for an investigation into Donald Trump Jr’s business dealings. Curtis made the request in a letter, according to Al Jazeera. The intervention is described as unusual because he belongs to the Republican Party, which is also the party of President Donald Trump.

The available material does not identify the recipient of the letter, the agency or committee Curtis wants to investigate the matter, or the specific transactions involved. It also does not state what prompted the senator’s request. No response from Donald Trump Jr, the president or any relevant business is included.

The source does not say whether an inquiry has been opened or whether other lawmakers have joined Curtis’s call. The letter represents a rare effort by a member of the president’s own party to seek scrutiny of a member of the Trump family. Beyond that, the supplied information does not establish any wrongdoing or indicate what the proposed investigation might find.
