CNN, MS NOW Mention Trump Aide Natalie Harp 718 Times After Ossoff Speech
3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Aug 25
Summary
CNN logged 318 mentions of Natalie Harp and MS NOW topped 400 by mid-Tuesday, extending a week of heavy coverage after Sen. Jon Ossoff’s viral speech thrust the Trump aide into view.
Grabien transcripts showed the surge had already reached 308 mentions on CNN and 344 on MS NOW from last Monday through Sunday, with both networks focusing on Harp’s loyalty letters and her proximity to Trump.
The scrutiny widened into reports that Harp lacks a security clearance, old social media posts backing Trump on Jan. 6, and CNN’s earlier account that she rode in an SUV trunk to join Trump in 2023.
The coverage has also fueled a media fight: the White House rebuked CNN correspondent Kristen Holmes over a Harp question to Trump, and CNN said the attack on its reporter was 'beneath the office.'
