WASHINGTON (AFP) — She is a near-constant presence at US President Donald Trump’s side, but until recently his ultra-loyal aide Natalie Harp had managed to stay out of the spotlight.
That has all changed since it emerged the 35-year-old was one of a handful of people who secretly swapped from Air Force One with Trump in Turkey after a security threat.
The blonde executive assistant to the president was then mentioned by a Democratic Senate hopeful, in comments that set the internet alight — and incensed the White House.
“He wants to build his ballroom and travel with Natalie on their apparently defenseless flying palace gifted by the Emir of Qatar,” Jon Ossoff, who is widely viewed as a 2028 presidential contender, said in a speech over the weekend.
But just who is this aide to the 80-year-old Trump, who reportedly has not taken a single day of vacation since the Republican returned to power last year?
