I have the honor of being invited to David Milstein's wedding. Let me say this. Giving cash gifts is standard, universal practice at Israeli weddings; a registry is not, and is actually viewed as bit pretentious by many. That David Milstein's wedding would include cash gifts is not a story, its standard. And there is no reason a US Embassy employee should be disbarred from such gifts. @politico's suggestion to the contrary is incoherent: typically registry gifts can be returned for cash or credit - so no wedding gifts for State Dept. employees? I should add that I've worked with David Milstein when he was in the senate, prior Trump Administration, and current one. He is a public servant of the highest integrity. @politico probably has a grudge against him because he doesn't leak.
