Natalie Harp, a close aide who has recently drawn attention as a favorite of U.S. President Donald Trump, posted approximately 150 pro-Trump tweets in rapid succession on the day of the 2021 U.S. Capitol riot, CNN reported on the 22nd local time.

According to the report, Harp made these posts sequentially on social media platform Twitter (now X) on January 6, 2021.

Among them was a post that repeated the phrase "Fight for Trump!" 12 times within a single message.

Other posts included "DC is Trump's turf today!", "Today we stop the steal!", and "We will never give up. We will never concede!"

Even before unleashing the roughly 150 tweets on the day of the Capitol riot, Harp had already authored posts echoing Trump's claims of election fraud.

Days after the results of the November 2020 presidential election were announced, she posted messages repeatedly reading "We love you!", and on the 14th of the following month, she claimed regarding then-President-elect Joe Biden's victory, "This is a coup."

She also posted, "We will never give up because the truth is on our side. January 6th is coming!!" ahead of the Capitol riot.

U.S. internet media outlet The Daily Beast reported that among posts uploaded to Harp's account in 2019 during Trump's first term, she shared an account of her battle with cancer and compared President Trump to a Good Samaritan.

The post read, "We all know the story of the Good Samaritan. But what you don't know is that the person left on the side of the road was me. Left to die of medical malpractice and cancer. The political establishment walked right past me. But Trump didn't. Meet my Good Samaritan!"

Two weeks after making this post, on June 26, 2019, Harp appeared on stage and spoke alongside President Trump at an event hosted by a conservative group called Faith & Freedom Coalition (FFC).

According to CNN, when President Trump was impeached on December 18, 2019, Harp posted messages on the same day reading, "Protect President Trump, my God, and take his side against a faithless nation," and "Trump, I thank my God every time I think of you!!!"

President Trump appointed Harp to the advisory board of his 2020 presidential election campaign and invited her as a speaker at the 2020 Republican National Convention.

Harp worked as a host on OANN (One America News Network), a right-wing news channel, from 2020 to 2022.

She subsequently joined Trump's 2024 presidential campaign to conduct election activities, and became a White House aide when President Trump began his second term in January 2025.

Harp is known to have been born in 1991, and her current official title at the White House is Special Assistant to the President and Deputy Director of Presidential Personnel (or Special Assistant to the President and Presidential Special Implementation Aide).

The Twitter account used to make the posts uncovered by CNN and The Daily Beast was created by Harp in 2016, and the account currently appears to be suspended.

CNN reported that it remains unclear when the account was suspended or whether the posts were deleted by Harp herself or by the platform operator.

The Daily Beast previously released the full text of two personal letters written by Harp to Trump in 2023 on the 20th.

In the letters, Harp called Trump her "defender and protector" and wrote, "You are my everything."

She also wrote, "I want to bring you joy and make you feel like you can have a day without having to talk about 'work'."

Harp reportedly accompanied Trump during his visit to golf facilities in Scotland and Ireland in May 2023, and The Daily Beast estimated that these letters were written during or shortly after the trip.

David Cohen, a professor of political science at the University of Akron and an expert on the U.S. presidency, told CNN that Harp has "proven herself to be a completely loyal and sycophantic adviser and staffer to Trump," explaining that Harp fulfills Trump's desire to be "adored."
