They draw $0 in salary for their "jobs" at the WH.

It's a requirement: Nepotism is frowned upon, but if they're not employees then it's not nepotism.

No doubt there has also been lots of under the table dealing and in kind contributions not reported.

Also, do not forget, US taxpayers pay for the bulk of the travel and accommodation expenses for them and their entourage. That is all tax free and very costly. If they were truly doing government business, it is to be expected, but more often than not they mix personal business and recreation with a government meeting or photo op. Must be nice.

I wonder if somehow taxpayers paid for her haircut? I would not be surprised.
