What to Know About Trump’s Aide Natalie Harp
The previously little-known White House aide has garnered growing attention after Sen. Jon Ossoff mentioned her in an attack on Trump.
Natalie Harp, a 35-year-old aide to President Donald Trump, has attracted attention after Sen. Jon Ossoff criticized Trump for prioritizing his "ballroom" and time with Harp over his presidential duties. Ossoff accused Trump of wanting to build a ballroom and travel with Harp rather than governing effectively.
Harp, who claimed her life was saved by stage 2 bone cancer in 2019, thanked Trump for signing the Right to Try law that allowed her to access experimental treatments. However, experts later disputed her claims, as the drug she received had already been approved and was not covered by the legislation.
Before joining Trump's staff, Harp worked as an anchor for a far-right news channel called One America News Network, where she spread false claims that the 2020 election was "stolen" from Trump. In her role as a special assistant to the President and executive assistant to the President, Harp helps Trump with various tasks, such as transcribing and posting social media messages and providing him with physical print-outs of dictated content.
Harp was among a few White House staff members who accompanied Trump on a secret flight to Turkey in July 2026 after receiving an Iranian assassination threat. She was one of the loyal and hardworking aides on Trump's team, as described by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.
