This photo was released by the British media outlet The Mirror.
It shows Natalie Harp, a close aide to U.S. President Donald Trump often nicknamed his "security blanket," sprinting to keep up with President Trump as he rode in a golf cart at a golf course in Scotland in 2023.
Following this, a long letter believed to have been written by Harp has also been revealed successively.
According to the letter released by an American media outlet, it read, "I am sorry if walking on the Scottish golf course was an embarrassment to you, Mr. President," and "I never want to let you down." It added, "Thank you for being the protector and guardian of my life."
Harp was also spotted accompanying Trump to his golf course for two consecutive weeks, including the weekend of her 35th birthday.
Harp is known to print out articles for President Trump to read and is also involved in drafting his social media messages.
She was also with him last month when President Trump secretly slipped out of his presidential aircraft and escaped on an Air Force aircraft due to a terrorist threat from Iran.
After Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff recently mentioned Harp in a public speech, drawing intense focus from U.S. political circles, related photos and behind-the-scenes stories have been coming to light one after another.
While Trump's aides have rushed to defend her, calling her a "loyal and highly capable team member who works around the clock for the President," it is reported that views criticizing her excessive loyalty are also widespread inside and outside the White House.
