WASHINGTON (Reuters] – On Tuesday, the U.S. House of Representatives Oversight Committee stated that they had launched an investigation into former President Donald Trump’s inability to pay for gifts he received through foreign governments.

U.S. Departments and Agencies are required by federal law to report any foreign gifts that exceed $415 received by employees. This law is intended to protect U.S. officials from any foreign influence.

Chair of the Oversight Committee Carolyn Maloney (Democratic Representative) said that Trump’s government had not properly managed and tracked the foreign gifts it received, and did not report these to the State Department.

Maloney, who wrote a letter to U.S. National Archives acting head, stated that Trump’s foreign source and the monetary value of his gifts were unknown.

Maloney stated that these revelations raised concerns over the possibility of undue influence by foreign governments on former President Trump, which could have placed the nation’s foreign policy interests at risk.

Representatives of Trump did not respond immediately to our request for comment.

Separately, the Justice Department and the House Oversight Committee are investigating Trump’s decision to remove classified documents from his White House. Trump claims that he did not commit any wrongdoing.
