公开记录显示，美国总统特朗普向四名白宫工作人员发放了共计15.7万美元的现金节日礼物1。其中，亲密助手纳塔莉·哈普获得4.5万美元，沃尔特·瑙塔获得2.2万美元，玛戈·马丁和钱伯莱恩·哈里斯各获得4.5万美元1。
白宫声称这些礼物属于个人性质，与任何官方政府职责无关，且完全符合相关法律和道德标准1。然而，法律专家对此提出质疑。法律专家卡桑德拉·伯克·罗伯逊表示，这增加了人们对利益冲突猖獗的普遍看法1。美国历史上没有其他已知的任职总统向白宫工作人员发放现金礼物的实例1。
Public records show that President Trump distributed a total of $157,000 in cash holiday gifts to four White House staff members 1. Natalie Harp, a close aide to the president, received $45,000, while Walter Nauta received $22,000 and two other staffers, Margo Martin and Chamberlain Harris, each received $45,000 1.
The White House defended the practice, stating that "these gifts are unrelated to any official government duties and are entirely compliant with applicable laws and ethical standards" 1. However, legal experts have raised concerns about the arrangement. Legal specialist Cassandra Burke Robertson commented that "this adds to the widespread perception that conflicts of interest are rampant" 1. The distribution is historically unprecedented, as no other sitting U.S. president is known to have given cash gifts directly to White House personnel 1.
