Donald Trump is the President of the USA. He gives much money to his workers in the White House. Natalie Harp is his important assistant. She gets 45000 dollars from him.
Margo Martin and Chamberlain Harris also get 45000 dollars each. Walt Nauta gets 20000 dollars. The money is a gift for holiday. The sums are very high.
Some workers earn 150000 dollars in a year. The gift is nearly one third of their wage. The White House says: The gifts are private. They have nothing to do with work.
A law expert has doubts. Government workers must not get extra money from outside. This can break rules for ethics. Ethics means rules for good behavior.
Natalie Harp is a very loyal helper of Trump. She works day and night for him. She checks who can talk to the president. Before, she was a host on TV.
