Summary
Trump took Natalie Harp aboard a secure military aircraft from Turkey to England after an Iranian threat to Air Force One, while leaving behind senior aides including Marco Rubio, Scott Bessent and Stephen Miller.
Harp’s place reflected her unusual standing with the president: the 34-year-old assistant is almost constantly at his side, manages printouts and some social media posting, and was described by Trump as someone who would “never leave” him.
Her loyalty traces back to Trump’s 2018 Right to Try law, which Harp has said helped her access experimental bone-cancer treatment; at the 2020 Republican convention, she told him, “I wouldn’t be alive today if it wasn’t for you.”
That closeness has long unsettled some White House officials, with reports that Harp attends Oval Office meetings, leaves adoring notes for Trump and sometimes bypasses normal review channels before posts go live.
