US-Politik: Trump schenkte Vertrauter Harp zu Weihnachten 45.000 Dollar
Seit Wochen redet Amerika über eine Frau, die sich im engsten Machtzirkel von Donald Trump bewegt, aber nie auffiel: Die Loyalität von Natalie Harp wusste der Präsident zu schätzen.
Washington - US President Donald Trump gifted his aide Natalie Harp and two other employees with Christmas cash gifts of $45,000 each (around €38,700), according to the White House and media reports by "The Washington Post" and "Politico". The gifts amounted to roughly one-third of the $150,000 annual salary each employee received for their roles in the White House.
The President has a long-standing tradition of giving gifts to people in his inner circle around Christmas, including occasionally employees and advisors, the White House press office reported on X. The White House clarified that the gifts in question had nothing to do with the official duties of these individuals in the government and therefore were fully permissible under relevant legal and ethical standards.
Natalie Harp, a former TV host, is reportedly one of the most loyal confidants of President Trump. The 35-year-old is a part of Trump's inner circle in his second term and works as the President's assistant, although she rarely appears in public. Media sources suggest that one of Harp's duties involves publishing posts on Trump's account on social media platform Truth Social, where Trump dictates and Harp types.
The other two recipients are Trump's 26-year-old personal assistant Chamberlain Harris and 31-year-old communications advisor Margo Martin.
