Dozens of items given to TFG's State Department are reportedly missing from the agency's gift vault
Dozens of items went missing from the State Department's gift vault during the transition from the Trump to Biden administrations, Politico reported Friday.
Two U.S. officials familiar with the matter told Politico foreign affairs correspondent Nahal Toosi that at least 20 types of individual pieces are missing and the State Department's inspector general is investigating the disappearances.
According to Politico, most of the missing items are gifts the U.S. was planning to give to other countries. Many of the items bore Donald Trump's insignia, the outlet reported, adding that "possibly hundreds" of items are missing.
State Department officials are currently looking for a $5,800 bottle of Japanese whisky given to then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo by the Japanese government in 2019, according to public notice filings on Wednesday.
