Natalie Harp Posted 150+ Pro-Trump Messages During Jan. 6 Riot as Scrutiny of Trump Aide Deepens

3 articles · Updated · The Guardian · Aug 23

Summary

  • CNN said Natalie Harp used a now-disabled X account to post more than 150 pro-Trump messages on Jan. 6, 2021, including repeated calls to “FIGHT FOR TRUMP!” and “STOP THE STEAL!”
  • Those posts echoed Trump’s false claims that the 2020 election was stolen and, according to the report, fit a pattern that began weeks earlier with warnings that “January 6th is coming!!” and a Dec. 14 post calling Biden’s win “A COUP.”
  • The resurfaced messages land as Harp, 35, faces fresh attention over her unusually close relationship with Trump, 80, whose White House aide roles pay $150,000 a year and whose orbit has dubbed her a “human printer.”
  • That scrutiny has also been fueled by 2023 letters in which Harp called Trump her “Guardian and Protector” and wrote “You are all that matters to me,” alongside criticism from her estranged brother and Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff.
