Ethics Watchdog Demands Investigation Into Trump's $157,000 in Cash Gifts to White House Aides

The Campaign Legal Center has filed a formal complaint with the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, alleging that President Donald Trump violated federal salary laws by giving cash gifts to four White House aides. The gifts, totaling $157,000, were disclosed as 'holiday' payments but may constitute illegal salary supplementation. Critics argue the payments create a conflict of interest, while the White House maintains they are personal and unrelated to official duties.
