Several items given to the former president, including a life-size painting of him given by El Salvador, are still unaccounted for
Donald Trump’s White House failed to report more than 100 gifts from foreign nations worth more than a quarter-million dollars, according to a US government report, and several of those gifts – including a lifesize painting of Trump given by the president of El Salvador and golf clubs from the prime minister of Japan – are still unaccounted for.
The top Democrat on the committee, congressman Jamie Raskin, said the findings indicate “a brazen disregard for the rule of law and its systematic mishandling of large gifts”. The report says federal officials have not been able to locate a lifesize painting of Trump that, according to internal White House correspondence, was commissioned by the president of El Salvador and delivered to the US embassy in El Salvador as a gift to Trump just before the 2020 election. According to the report, the US ambassador to El Salvador alerted US officials about the gift and requested help in shipping it.
Thousands of dollars in golf clubs given to Trump in 2018 and 2019 by Shinzo Abe, then the prime minister of Japan, are also unaccounted for.
