The White House released the annual salaries for President Donald Trump's key aides on Friday.

Here's how much some of the most senior staff make each year:

Although the figures for several senior aides represent a minor increase from President Barack Obama’s administration in 2012, their real incomes were slightly lower due to the faster pace of inflation.
