Two gifts given to former President Donald Trump and his family from foreign nations have gone missing, according to a report.
On Friday, The Washington Post reported the gifts are a life-size painting of Trump given to him by the president of El Salvador and golf clubs from the Japanese prime minister, citing a report from House Democrats.
The Post noted the gifts are included among more than 100 foreign gifts. The gifts are valued at close to $300,000. According to the report, Trump and his family had not reported the gifts to the State Department in violation of federal law, citing government records and emails.
The report is 15 pages long and comes after an investigation by the House Oversight Committee into Trump’s failure to disclose the gifts.
Additionally, the report found Trump’s family did not “disclose dozens of gifts from countries that are not U.S. allies or have a complicated relationship with Washington,” the Post explained.
The gifts include 16 from Saudi Arabia with a total value of more than $48,000, 17 from India worth more than $17,000, and at least five from China.
The Post also pointed out that the majority of the more than 100 gifts the committee identified are currently with the National Archives or the federal government.
Officials reported it is unclear how many of the gifts were returned before Trump left the White House as well as after his departure, per the newspaper.
“We’ve been able to piece all of this together through independent sources, but there could be a lot more given that none of these gifts have been reported and we’ve only found out about them through different kinds of investigative work and accidents,” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, said.
