The Latest: Trump gave $45,000 cash to Natalie Harp amid gifts to White House aides

President Donald Trump gave $45,000 in cash to Natalie Harp, along with other cash gifts to White House aides, according to new financial disclosures released by the administration. A White House official, speaking anonymously, said the gifts were “entirely permissible” under applicable legal and ethical standards. The disclosures arrive as the Justice Department seeks testimony before a Florida grand jury in a yearlong investigation aimed at determining whether there was an intelligence-community conspiracy involving Trump. The report also notes a separate political track: Democrats are arguing that a planned Republican convention will highlight GOP priorities during an economic crisis. The convention schedule includes Trump and multiple officials, with Trump expected to speak Wednesday and Thursday.
