President Trump last year gave cash gifts of $45,000 to aides Natalie Harp , Margo Martin and Chamberlain Harris and a $20,000 gift to Walt Nauta, public financial disclosures show.
In the financial disclosures, the money is labeled as "cash gift for holidays."
"The gifts at issue here have nothing to do with any of these individuals' official government duties, and, therefore, are entirely permissible under relevant legal and ethical standards," the spokesperson said.
The gifts were first reported by Politico .
