President Donald Trump gave $US45,000 ($62,000) cash gifts to executive assistant Natalie Harp and two of his other young, loyal White House employees, according to financial disclosures released by the administration.

On their disclosure forms, the three women described the payments as “Cash Gift for Holidays”. The gifts amount to about one-third of the $US150,000 salaries they each earn from their White House positions, according to an annual report to Congress.
