New Facts: Trump Gifts $45,000 to Natalie Harp
Newly released White House financial disclosures list a $45,000 cash gift from President Donald Trump to his executive assistant, Natalie Harp. The filings also show identical $45,000 gifts to communications adviser Margo Martin and deputy director of Oval Office operations Chamberlain Harris.
A fourth aide, director of Oval Office operations Walt Nauta, received a smaller cash gift, variously listed as $20,000 or $22,000. No other White House staffer listed receiving a gift from the president.
The $45,000 payments equal roughly one third of the $150,000 salaries paid to Harp, Martin and Harris. The aides recorded the money on their annual financial disclosure forms as cash gifts for the holidays.
