Donald Trump aide Natalie Harp extensively used a since-disabled social media account to post pro-Trump messages on the day his supporters attacked the U.S. Capitol, according to a new report. The posts, made years before she joined his staff, reveal a fervent alignment with Trump's rhetoric, including his baseless claims of a stolen 2020 election.

On January 6, 2021, Harp reportedly published more than 150 posts on the platform then known as X. These messages included repeated declarations of "FIGHT FOR TRUMP!" and affirmations like "Today, DC is TRUMP COUNTRY!" She also posted "today we STOP THE STEAL!’" and, as Trump delivered a speech that day, wrote, "We will never give up. We will never concede!"

CNN's reporting on these posts surfaces amid increased media attention on Harp's close relationship with Trump. Her role as a special assistant and executive assistant comes with a $150,000 annual salary. She has been described as a "human printer" for supplying Trump with printed information. The scrutiny is further fueled by affectionate letters she wrote to Trump, one calling him her "Guardian and Protector in this Life," and claims from her estranged brother about their "unhealthy" relationship.
