President Donald Trump presented generous Christmas gifts to four White House advisors, according to new financial disclosures released by the government. The gifts, valued at $45,000 each for executive assistant Natalie Harp, communications advisor Margo Martin, and Deputy Chief of Staff Chamberlain Harris, along with a $20,000 gift for Oval Office Chief of Staff Walt Nauta, were recorded in the annual financial disclosure forms of the staff, which the government published last week. Harp, Martin, and Harris earn $150,000 a year, while Nauta receives $175,000 annually, according to the White House salary information report to Congress. A White House official, who was not authorized to speak publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity, noted that Trump has long had the practice of giving Christmas gifts to those around him, including, at times, employees and advisors, both in government and during his time in the private sector. The official did not indicate whether other employees received similar gifts from the president but added that the cash gifts were not related to 'each individual's official duties in government and therefore are entirely permissible under applicable legal and ethical standards.' The information about the gifts was first reported earlier Tuesday by The Washington Post.
