Natalie Harp has become one of the people closest to Donald Trump, according to accounts cited in the source material. She is described as spending much of the day with the US president, attending meetings and helping manage documents, social media posts, interviews and contacts with lawmakers and foreign leaders.
Harp was born in California in 1991. Her father, Robert “Bob” Biola, was director of the Office of Innovation at Biola University and also worked as a real-estate agent. He died in July 2020. Harp later moved with her mother from California to Florida. Her brother, Preston Harp, is described as separated from the family.
During the final year of her MBA in 2015, Harp learned that she had stage-two bone cancer. The source says a nurse mistakenly injected sterile water into her vein during treatment, after which her condition worsened and she became unable to walk. In a LinkedIn post dated 12 June 2019, Harp claimed that two rounds of chemotherapy had not helped and that a Democratic-controlled government had urged her to take opioids and other drugs, and had even suggested assisted death.
Harp credited Trump with helping her find another treatment option. She later praised him on Fox News and spoke at the Republican National Convention on 24 August 2020, saying she would not be alive without him. She compared Trump with George Bailey, the central character in the film “It’s a Wonderful Life”.
After Trump lost the election to Joe Biden, Harp hosted “The Real Story with Natalie Harp” on One America News Network, or OANN. The programme frequently supported Trump’s claim that Biden had won through fraud. Harp left OANN in March 2022 and began working for Trump.
During Trump’s campaign, she became known as a “human printer”. Because Trump preferred reading documents on paper, Harp carried a portable printer and battery and printed material for him. The source also says she followed him while he played golf in Scotland, providing positive news and social-media updates.
After Trump won the presidential election on 5 November 2024, Harp was expected to remain part of his White House team. Accounts cited in the report say she worked inside the Oval Office, quickly typed Trump’s remarks for online publication and sometimes arranged interviews without informing the press team.
Her closeness has prompted criticism and speculation. Democratic Senator John Ossoff criticised Trump, while White House spokesperson Davis Ingle defended Harp’s loyalty and work. Letters attributed to Harp in 2023 included declarations that Trump was everything to her and that she wanted to restore their earlier personal connection. Preston Harp told CNN that she showed an unusual obsession with Trump. The source does not establish an unethical relationship between them.
