  "account": "In a recent White House financial disclosure, it was revealed that President Donald Trump granted a US$45,000 cash gift to his long-standing executive assistant, Natalie Harp. Harp, often referred to as the \"human printer\" due to her role in printing documents for Trump, earns an annual salary of US$150,000. Along with Harp, Margo Martin and Chamberlain Harris each received the same US$45,000 gift, described as a holiday cash present in the forms. These funds originated directly from Trump, not from government sources, and were first reported by The Washington Post. A White House spokesman defended the gifts, stating they were consistent with Trump's tradition of giving holiday presents to individuals within his circle, including some employees and aides.",
  "summary": "Natalie Harp has been a near-constant presence at Donald Trump's side in his second term, with her duties including carrying a portable machine to print documents.",
