CNN Unearths 150 Jan. 6 Posts by Natalie Harp as Letters Deepen Trump Loyalty Questions

3 articles · Updated · The Daily Beast · Aug 24

Summary

  • More than 150 Jan. 6, 2021 posts from Natalie Harp’s now-deleted X account showed her urging supporters to “FIGHT FOR TRUMP,” calling rioters “patriots” and echoing Trump’s false stolen-election claims.
  • CNN said the posts predated Harp’s rise as one of Trump’s closest aides and offered a public record of the extreme loyalty that now defines her role around the president.
  • The revelations build on a Daily Beast report that also published intimate letters in which Harp told Trump he was “all that matters to me” and that she was “unworthy of him.”
  • Earlier posts from 2019 and 2020 cast Trump as Harp’s “Good Samaritan,” praised him with Bible verses and backed his border wall, while experts disputed her claim that a Trump-era law saved her life.
  • The scrutiny has widened because Harp, 35, has traveled in Trump’s inner circle — including on a secretive Turkey trip — and has become a public target for critics questioning their closeness.
