WASHINGTON (AP) — The State Department says it is unable to compile a complete and accurate accounting of gifts presented to former President Donald Trump and other U.S. officials by foreign governments during Trump's final year in office, citing missing data from the White House.

In a report to be published in the Federal Register next week, the department says the Executive Office of the President did not submit information about gifts received by Trump and his family from foreign leaders in 2020. It also says the General Services Administration didn’t submit information about gifts given to former Vice President Mike Pence and White House staffers that year.

The State Department said it sought the missing information from National Archives and Records Administration and the General Services Administration, but was told that “potentially relevant records” are not available because of access restrictions related to retired records.

The State Department’s Office of Protocol reported the situation in footnotes to a partial list of gifts received by U.S. officials in 2020. The office publishes such lists annually in part to guard against potential conflicts of interest. A preview of the 2020 report was posted on the Federal Register website on Friday ahead of its formal publication on Monday.

[Patterson]

4. Add it to the list.

[Autumn]

14. Which list? The list of things that nothing will be done about?

[Patterson]

21. Pretty much.

Weeks after Trump departed.

[SoonerPride]

7. They did.

[MagickMuffin]

8. Grifters gotta GRIFT

Of course they wouldn't have records lying around government depts getting reviewed by anyone. There are no limits to their crimes.


Their crimes are like Texas weather, wait a few minutes and it'll change.

15. Secret decoder ring is missing. He didn't get a walkie-talkie becuase they have his phone password.n

[Mr. Ected]

16. I'm sure his ilk is emboldened by the lack of consequences

In being stymied by politics and money from punishing those thieves in broad daylight, this country countenances blatantly illegal and unethical behavior at its highest levels of governance. The rule of law is not a rule; it isn't even a suggestion to these miscreants.

[Liberal In Texas]

17. Gee, wonder how that happened.

The Grifter-In-Chief and minions figure they were theirs, not the property of the Federal Government.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

18. More Trump sleaziness.

[mjvpi]

19. Yet another, can you imagine if Hillary hadn't moment.

fucking TRAITORS

[sunonmars]

25. I believe there was photos of Trump's last week of people walking out the OO with

things...busts, paintings, all sorts, they literally robbed the place. They didn't care if they were seen or not.

[maxrandb]

26. My fucking God! Remember the "House Check Writing 'scandal'"?

House members were cashing checks, kind of like getting an advance on their pay. It was a common practice in both parties, but since the Dems were the majority, they lost 60+ seats in that years election.

That fucking shit would be quaint by today's level of corruption in the Retrumplicans Party.

What will it take for something...ANYTHING...to stick to these criminal fucksticks?

The level of lawlessness is staggering, but it pales in comparison to the lack of accountability for one fucking party in particular

These asspickles shoot someone in 5TH Avenue every God Damned day.

We either accept it, or we don't.

It appears we accept it.

This isn't fucking governance! It's fucking anarchy.

The only way out of this is to start throwing some very senior Retrumplicans in stinking federal prison.

27. Time for an FBI raid of Mar El Lago, Pompeo and Pence houses.

Also Trump Tower, Dim Son's house, junior's house, and Ivanka's house.

[Novara]

28. You know what's funny?

He kept some tacky animal pelt until he was forced to hand it over to some governmental entity, who found it was a fake fur after all. He was fooled by a fake fur.

No class. No integrity. Utter stupidity. The most deplorable of the delporables.

[Hugin]

29. Have they checked the grift records?

They will probably find them listed there.

[Lasher]

30. Maybe the list is in one of those 15 boxes. nt
