President Donald Trump offered $135,000 in cash to three advisors as a Christmas gift, according to White House financial disclosures. The recipients were female collaborators of the administration.
U.S. federal law prohibits supplementary payments to government employees' salaries, making the practice potentially problematic. The total amount distributed was $135,000 among the three advisors.
White House financial disclosures revealed the president's gifts to the collaborators, raising questions about the legality of the payments made outside the official payroll.
