Overview
- Excerpts from the book Regime Change published in late June describe Harp as a constant presence around the president who left adoring handwritten notes and carried printed materials for him.
- The Wall Street Journal reported in May that Harp compiles draft content for Trump and has at times logged into his Truth Social account to post material after getting his approval.
- Preston Harp, Natalie Harp’s estranged brother, told reporters this week that he views her attachment to Trump as an infatuation tied to a troubled relationship with their father.
- The White House has publicly defended Harp as a loyal, hard‑working aide and officials have not reported any disciplinary action or a formal investigation into her conduct.
- Commentators and former aides have voiced alarm about concentrated, informal access to the president while some claims, including alleged Secret Service warnings, rely on limited or unnamed sourcing and have been contested in the media.
