The “nasty” stories about President Donald Trump’s executive assistant Natalie Harp are being leaked from inside the White House, Laura Loomer has claimed. Loomer, a conservative activist and close Trump ally, alleged in a social media post that White House staffers are jealous of Harp, who has drawn intense media attention in recent months. Harp, 35, reportedly helps manage Trump’s Truth Social account and handles a range of other administrative tasks for the president.
In recent months, she has attracted intense media scrutiny, due in part to her near-constant presence at Trump’s side and what some perceive as an unusually fervent devotion to him. In a recently published book, New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan reported that Harp was known to leave Trump adoring notes, including one that read: “You are all that matters to me.” The authors said they interviewed numerous Washington insiders for the book. Haberman has also referred to Harp, a former One America News Network presenter, as Trump’s “binkie” and “comfort blanket.” Her estranged brother, meanwhile, has described her relationship with the president as “very unhealthy.” CNN also recently reported that, in 2023, Harp jumped into the trunk of an SUV when there was no space for her to ride in Trump’s motorcade to a court hearing in New York.
At the same time, Haberman has said Harp wields incredible power as a “conduit for information” to the president. The White House, for its part, has vigorously defended Harp. Senator Jon Ossoff, a Georgia Democrat, appeared to allude to the report at a rally over the weekend, claiming Trump “wants to build his ballroom and travel with Natalie on their apparently defenseless flying palace gifted by the Emir of Qatar.” Several prominent conservatives objected to Ossoff’s jibe, including White House Communications Director Steven Cheung and CNN commentator Scott Jennings.
Jon Ossoff is a despicable coward who thinks he can get ahead by smearing a cancer survivor and loyal public servant, Natalie Harp,” Jennings wrote on X. Harp survived bone cancer and has credited Trump’s right-to-try law with saving her life. Not every Trump ally, however, was outraged by Ossoff’s comment.
No,” Fox News host Jesse Watters said Tuesday. So much more sleazy things against other people? Have I defended those things?
