TL;DR Summary

The White House under former President Donald Trump failed to report 117 foreign gifts valued at $291,000 to the State Department as required by federal law, according to a report by Democratic staffers on the House Oversight Committee. Some of the missing gifts include a painting from the president of El Salvador and golf clubs from the prime minister of Japan. The unreported gifts raise questions about why Trump failed to disclose them to the public. The law stipulates that foreign gifts given to federal officials or their families become the property of the U.S. government if their worth exceeds a certain value.
