The State Department has been unable to account for all of the diplomatic gifts given to U.S. officials during the final year of the Trump administration.
The Trump White House did not turn over information about the gifts former President Donald Trump, his family, former Vice President Mike Pence, and other White House staffers received in 2020, the department will claim in a report set to be published by the Federal Register next week.
The State Department’s Office of Protocol publishes a list of gifts top U.S. officials receive annually to promote transparency and fend off possible conflicts of interest. The list for 2020 will be published Monday. The office noted the situation in a footnote to a partial list of the gifts officials received in 2020.
