The State Department is unable to provide a complete list and accounting of gifts presented to former President Donald Trump, former Vice President Mike Pence and other officials during the final year of the Trump administration, according to a report published in the Federal Register.
The State Department's Office of Protocol said the Executive Office of the President did not send the department information about gifts received by Trump and others from foreign officials in 2020, according to the report.
The department has made attempts to collect the missing information from the National Archives and Records Administration and the General Services Administration, but has been told that "potentially relevant records are not available" to the protocol office "under applicable access rules for retired records," the report says.
