The House Oversight Committee is reviewing whether Trump violated the Foreign Gifts and Decorations Act. This is a 1966 legal order that makes it impossible for heads of state to deposit foreign relics worth more than $415.00 USD without payment.
The State Department did not receive a detailed list of items given to members of the previous administration. George W. Bush and Barack Obama’s terms had no problem with unregistered gifts.
Donald Trump is also being prosecuted by the FBI for misconduct with secret documentation. The former US president was searched at the Mar-a-Lago mansion in Florida and important papers on China and Iran were found. Thanks to three secretive people close to the previous presidency, officials are getting valuable information about Trump’s operations.
