  "account": "Natalie Harp, a 35-year-old woman, has been writing very personal letters to US President Donald Trump and delivering them to various locations in the White House, where they are intended to be found. Harp acts as Trump's personal assistant, accompanying him everywhere and even having access to his social media accounts. She was present when Trump was moved to a different aircraft on Air Force One, just in case of an alleged attack by Iran during a NATO summit in July. Harp answers Trump's messages on his behalf and influences which articles he reads. Despite lacking security clearance according to research by US channel MS NOW, Harp is a key figure in Trump's inner circle, with extensive influence over the US President. Her unusual relationship with Trump has recently come to light, sparking criticism from Jon Ossoff, a Democratic presidential candidate for 2028. Ossoff mocked Harp's close relationship with Trump, saying he preferred to build his casino rather than travel with her in his \"flying palace gifted by the Emir of Qatar.\" Harp's unusual route to her position as Trump's close assistant is even more unusual, as she claims she survived a rare form of bone cancer due to a procedure ordered by Trump.",
