Hillary's mother moved into the White House after her husband died in 1993, and traveled regularly overseas with her daughter.
All of them.
Aren’t there like 8-million Americans living rent-free presently, with the eviction ‘gimmick’ in place?

It is imputed income because it is being provided by the employer. The fair market value is taxable income to the employee, subject to W2 reporting and tax withholding and also employer's share of SS and Medicare taxes.
An employer may only provide tax free “gifts” only under certain circumstances.

The employer/employee relationship does not apply to the gift tax exclusion, the gift tax is BTW levied on the giver not the recipient.
