WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- It's only rock 'n' roll, but questions are being raised about eight Rolling Stones concert tickets totaling $2,533 for President Bush's daughter Jenna. On Thursday Bush released the financial disclosure form for himself and his family for 2002, reporting worth of at least $8.8 million and up to $21.9 million.
In the filing, Bush reported accepting six Rolling Stones concert tickets from the boss of Sony Entertainment at the time, Tommy Mottola, and two Stones tickets from the Secret Service detail in Austin, Texas. They were for his daughter Jenna.
After a press query, the White House issued a statement Friday explaining that gifts for dependents under age 21 are typically listed as part of the disclosure form.
"Jenna is a fan of the Rolling Stones and expressed interest in buying some tickets to the concert. Mr. Mottola then offered to give them to her as a gift," White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said.
He went on to explain that the other tickets were birthday gifts for Jenna from her personal agents.
"They were not paid for by the (Secret Service) but the individuals personally," he said.
