A California native and member of a conservative Christian family, Harp followed an unorthodox path into an already unconventional White House.ALSO READ: Mega 35-acre shopping mall built in 1977 in California, seen in ‘Fast and Furious’ and ‘Gone Girl,’ is finally being demolished after decades of abandonmentShe quickly gained prominence and popularity in Trump's Maga (Make America Great Again) wing of the Republican Party by talking about the experience, and soon after joined an advisory board for Trump's 2020 re-election campaign.She has also earned the unofficial nickname “human printer” because she has reportedly carried a printer with her so Trump can quickly receive printed copies of documents and social media posts.Her proximity to the president became a bigger talking point after Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff claimed during a campaign speech that Trump prefers to travel with Harp. Ossoff attacked Trump's "travel with Natalie on their apparently defenceless flying palace gifted by the Emir of Qatar".Another incident that resurfaced involved Harp reportedly getting into the trunk of an SUV in 2023 after insisting that she accompanied Trump when there was no available seat for her.Natalie Harp's brother speaks outThe latest controversy intensified after Harp's estranged brother, Preston Harp, spoke to CNN about his sister's long-standing admiration for Trump.Preston described her as being deeply fascinated by politics and said Trump was not the first president she had written letters to. He recalled that she had previously written to George W. Bush during the Iraq War.“I think that Trump's best friends are people who are his fan club, and so she's his biggest fan, and that's probably why he likes her,” Preston said, according to the Times of India.He also characterized her devotion to Trump as “delusional”, saying her dream of being close to the president had ultimately come true.Eric Trump comes to her defenceTrump's son Eric Trump pushed back strongly against the criticism of Harp. Reacting to the CNN interview, Eric described it as “absolute trash” and defended the White House aide's character and work.“Natalie is an incredible young woman — a cancer survivor, a genuinely good person, and arguably one of the hardest-working people in the White House. She’s deeply committed to my father, to her job, and to this country,” Eric wrote.He added: “From the looks of it, she got all the family genetics.”Why Natalie Harp is back in the spotlightThe attention surrounding Harp comes amid growing public interest in Trump's closest aides and the people who accompany him during official duties.Her long-running role beside Trump, reports about her loyalty and the president's latest comments have combined to make her an increasingly prominent figure around the White House.For now, the controversy is centred less on Harp's official responsibilities and more on the extraordinary level of trust and personal loyalty that Trump and his family have publicly attributed to her.
