"Natalie is an incredible young woman," Trump writes of his father's aide The post Eric Trump Defends Natalie Harp After CNN’s ‘Absolute Trash’ Interview With Her Brother appeared first on TheWrap .

Eric Trump condemned CNN's recent interview with Preston Harp, Natalie Harp's estranged brother, describing it as "absolute trash." The interview took place on Tuesday, with Erin Burnett questioning Preston about his sister's actions, specifically her jump into a motorcade trunk in 2023 to accompany Trump to a court appearance in New York.

Preston laughed at the question, stating he was unaware of the incident. Eric Trump, in a subsequent X post, defended his sister, calling her "an incredible young woman" and praising her for being a cancer survivor, a hard-working individual, and deeply committed to her father, his job, and the country. Eric also criticized CNN, calling it "a joke."

The controversy escalated after Georgia Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff criticized Trump at a rally, suggesting he prioritizes golfing and travel with Harp over his responsibilities as president. It was later revealed that Harp was among the few White House officials chosen to accompany Trump on a covert flight to avoid an assassination threat after a NATO summit in Turkey.

Harp's brother explained that his sister's loyalty to Trump stems from their mother's teachings of American Exceptionalism, and she is considered Trump's "biggest fan."
