Natalie Harp row: Who is Hope Hicks, where is she now? Donald Trump's ex-White House communications director in focus

Hope Hicks, a former White House communications director for Donald Trump, has recently commented on the controversy surrounding current White House aide Natalie Harp. Hicks, who served in Trump's administration from 2016 to 2018, expressed her views on X, stating that "Translation… $95M is about to go into Democrat coffers." Her comment came as the attention on Harp grew following criticism surrounding her role and her close relationship with Trump.

Hicks, known for her low public profile while working closely with Trump, held the position of White House communications director from 2017 to 2018. She was the youngest person to hold that role at the time. After leaving the administration, Hicks joined Fox Corporation and returned to Trump's political circle in 2020 as a senior adviser. Currently, she works as the chief operating officer of Devil May Care Media, a media company founded by Megyn Kelly.

Harp, a 35-year-old special assistant and executive assistant to Trump, has become the focus of intense scrutiny due to her close relationship with the president. Reports describe her as a constant presence at the White House, present during Trump's travels and handling communications. Her role has drawn attention due to her involvement with Trump's Truth Social posts and her close access to the president. However, Hicks remains outside the White House, while Harp continues to be one of the president's most visible aides.
