Aide Natalie Harp’s Intimate Working Relationship with President Donald Trump
Natalie Harp, a 34-year-old former OAN host, serves as President Donald Trump’s executive assistant in the White House. She follows the 80-year-old president with a portable printer, supplies printed copies of news items, and leaves personal letters in his “personal spaces.” Harp joined Trump’s inner circle in 2022, received the formal title of executive assistant in January 2025, and is reported to control his Truth Social account. The relationship was highlighted in the 2024 book *Regime Change* and the 2025 book *All or Nothing*, which describe Trump telling staff, “She’ll never leave me,” and calling her “the only one who loves him as much as his wife and kids.”
From OAN Host to Executive Assistant
Before entering the White House, Harp appeared on the far-right One America News Network, praised Trump’s 2019 Right-to-Try Act, and spoke at a Faith & Freedom Coalition event that year. She later worked on Trump’s 2020 and 2024 campaigns before a two-year stint as a TV host. The Right-to-Try Act allowed experimental treatments for terminal patients; Harp has claimed it saved her from bone cancer, a claim the Washington Post has questioned.

Why It Matters
The Secret Service’s assessment that Harp could be a “potential danger” raises security questions about a staffer who constantly accompanies the president. Her control of printed briefings and the Truth Social account may shape the president’s information flow and public messaging. The public airing of a family dispute adds a personal dimension to the political narrative, potentially influencing public perception of the administration’s inner workings.

- The White House has not commented on the family dynamics; The Daily Beast’s request for comment went unanswered.
Criticism & Opposition
Preston Harp called Trump a “national embarrassment” and described his sister’s bond with the president as “very unhealthy,” adding, “She’s just like his fan club.” He said, “I don’t understand why my sister, or anyone, could want to work for Trump.” Michael Wolff labeled Harp’s fixation an “open secret,” and the Secret Service reportedly flagged her as a potential danger. The Washington Post has cast doubt on Harp’s claim that the Right-to-Try Act saved her life.
Conflicting Reports & Gaps
