US President Donald Trump presented a US$45,000 cash gift to his top aide Natalie Harp, according to US media reports. The Washington Post revealed that two other White House employees, Margo Martin and Chamberlain Harris, also received similar amounts. The financial disclosure forms described the payments as "Cash Gift for Holidays," the Post reported.
Harp has been a constant companion to Trump during his second term, often handling tasks such as typing out social media posts and printing information, a role that has earned her the nickname "human printer." Harp's annual salary as a special assistant and executive assistant to the president is US$150,000, as stated in an annual report to Congress.
A spokesperson for the White House defended the gifts, citing Trump's tradition of giving Christmas presents to those in his circle, including employees and aides. The spokesperson emphasized that the gifts were unrelated to the individuals' job duties, making them "entirely permissible under relevant legal and ethical standards."
