特朗普总统向包括私人助理纳塔莉·哈普在内的多名政府官员赠送现金礼物,目前正面临伦理违规的审查。1 根据报道,特朗普向纳塔莉·哈普、钱伯莱恩·哈里斯和玛戈·马丁各赠送4.5万美元现金,这笔款项相当于三名助理15万美元年薪的30%。1 此外,沃尔特·瑙塔还报告收到特朗普赠送的2万美元礼物。1
非营利组织竞选法律中心已向美国政府伦理办公室提出投诉,要求进行调查。1 前白宫伦理官规范·艾森表示,这些赠送可能违反联邦法律第18 USC 209条,该法禁止政府行政部门员工接收除薪资外的补充收入。1 竞选法律中心副主席凯德里克·佩恩表示,调查显然是合理的,如发现违规应转交司法部。1 然而,白宫否认存在伦理违规行为。1
President Trump is facing scrutiny over cash gifts given to three government aides, raising potential federal ethics violations. 1 Trump provided Natalie Harp, Chamberlain Harris, and Margo Martin each with $45,000 in cash, representing approximately 30 percent of their annual salary of $150,000. 1 Additionally, Walter Nauta received a $20,000 gift from the president. 1
The Campaign Legal Center, a nonprofit organization, filed a complaint with the U.S. Office of Government Ethics seeking an investigation into whether the payments violate federal law. 1 Former White House ethics official Norman Eisen characterized the gifts as potentially breaching 18 USC Section 209, which prohibits federal executive branch employees from receiving supplemental income outside their official salary. 1 Campaign Legal Center Vice Chair Kedrick Payne stated that an investigation "is obviously warranted," and indicated that any violations should be referred to the Justice Department if confirmed. 1 The White House has denied that any ethical violations occurred. 1
