Who is Natalie Harp, Trump’s assistant who defused the White House’s anger towards the CNN journalist?
During a press conference, the president did not answer Holmes’s question directly, but a little later, when she asked him questions about the North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, he attacked her head-on
Donald Trump and the White House have lashed out at a CNN journalist, Kristen Holmes, who asked the US President to respond to an attack by a Democratic senator regarding his alleged closeness to an assistant.
“One day your children will come across your disgusting and inhumane question. They will be sickened by it,” a US administration account on X, Rapid Response 47, claimed, accusing the White House correspondent in another post of having delivered a “low blow against one of President Trump’s aides” during a question-and-answer session in the Oval Office.
Holmes had asked Trump to comment on the remarks made by Jon Ossoff, the Democratic senator for Georgia, who claimed that the president prioritises his own personal interests over his role. “He wants to build his ballroom and travel with Natalie,” he had said during a rally, referring to Natalie Harp, an assistant who is constantly by Trump’s side, according to reports from various media outlets.
Harp, a former television personality, often appears alongside Trump and has been nicknamed the ‘human printer’ because of her habit of providing the president with pages and pages of documents. In the book *Regime Change*, two *New York Times* journalists wrote that Harp’s loyalty went so far as to include writing him ‘adoring letters’, including one that read: ‘You are everything that matters to me’.
During a discussion with journalists, the president did not respond directly to Holmes’s question, but a little later, when she asked him questions about the North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, he attacked her head-on.
