In a surprising turn of event, White House Press Secretary inadvertently revealed US President Donald Trump’s private bank details to the world during a press conference. The incident happened when the Press Secretary was highlighting Trump's contribution to the Department of Health and Human Service.
During a press conference, Kayleigh McEnany announced that the US President would donate his quarterly paycheque to support the response against coronavirus. She also revealed that the President had chosen to donate $100,000 of his 2020 earnings to the HHS to "support the efforts being undertaken to confront, contain and combat the coronavirus".
Meanwhile, the Daily Mail report quoted an administration official saying to The New York Times that mock cheques were never used in the briefing, which appears to confirm that McEnany flaunted was legitimate. Usually during such cases, mock promotional cheques are often used to conceal sensitive account information.
However, White House spokesperson Judd Deere stated that: "Today the President's salary went to help advance new therapies to treat this virus, but leave it to the media to find a shameful reason not to simply report the facts, focusing instead on whether the check is real or not."
