> Financial disclosures show that Donald Trump gave cash gifts last year to four White House aides: $45,000 each to Natalie Harp, Margo Martin and Chamberlain Harris, and $20,000 to Walt Nauta. Because federal employees are generally barred from compensation beyond their salaries, the payments raised ethics questions. The White House said the gifts were permissible.
