Trump's White House gifts cause ethics debate

An American report revealed that President Donald Trump gave cash gifts of $45,000 to Natalie Harp, Margo Martin, and Chamblin Harris, his close aides in the White House, claiming they were holiday presents. These amounts amount to about one-third of their annual salaries of $150,000 and sparked legal and ethical debates, as providing such large sums of cash is considered a violation of federal law prohibiting external sources of funding for government officials. The White House responded that these gifts are not related to official duties and are a common practice, while ethics experts warn that such actions could foster feelings of gratitude and indebtedness toward Trump, constituting a violation of anti-corruption laws.
