  • Natalie Harp, a close aide to former U.S. President Donald Trump, reportedly posted numerous pro-Trump messages on a now-defunct social media account on January 6, 2021.
  • These posts included strong support for Trump's claims of election fraud and slogans like "Fight for Trump!" and "Today, Washington is Trump's nation!"
  • The unearthed posts resurface as Harp, Trump's special assistant, remains a constant presence by his side, with scrutiny on her loyalty and relationship with the former president.

Natalie Harp, a long-time and exceptionally close aide to former U.S. President Donald Trump, is facing renewed scrutiny over social media posts she allegedly made on January 6, 2021, the day of the Capitol riot. CNN reported that Harp, who holds the title of Special Assistant to the President and Executive Assistant, used a now-defunct social media account to publish a barrage of pro-Trump messages.

Fight for Trump!

— Natalie HarpOne of the numerous pro-Trump messages allegedly posted by Harp on January 6, 2021.

During the events of January 6th, Harp reportedly posted over 150 messages on the platform, then known as Twitter and now X. These posts included repeated affirmations of Trump's unsubstantiated claims that the 2020 election was stolen. Slogans such as "Fight for Trump!" and "Today, Washington is Trump's nation!" were allegedly among her posts, alongside "We will never give up. We will never back down!" and "Today we 'Stop the Steal!'"

The resurfacing of these messages comes as Harp, 35, is frequently seen by Trump's side, fueling public interest in her role and relationship with the 80-year-old former president. Her deeply emotional correspondence with Trump, in which she referred to him as her "guardian and protector," has also drawn attention. Her estranged brother has described their relationship as "unhealthy," and Georgia Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff recently suggested that Trump's desire to travel with Harp is among his few wishes.

We will never give up. We will never back down!

Further details uncovered by The Daily Beast indicate that Harp's social media activity in 2016 also included comparing Trump to biblical figures. She recounted her personal battle with cancer, stating that Trump's "Right to Try Act" allowed her access to experimental drugs that saved her life, positioning him as her "Good Samaritan." These posts, along with others expressing strong support for Trump's election fraud narrative, including a December 14, 2020, post calling Biden's victory a "coup," have led to increased examination of her unwavering loyalty.

Today we 'Stop the Steal!'
