Former White House Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Matthews Raises Concerns Over Natalie Harp's Proximity to President Trump
Sarah Matthews, who served as Deputy Press Secretary during President Trump's first term, has voiced concerns regarding the close relationship between White House staffer Natalie Harp and President Trump. Matthews stated on CNN's 'Laura Coates Live' that Harp's proximity to President Trump 'unnerved' the Secret Service and made his 2024 campaign team uneasy. These comments follow remarks by Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff, who criticized President Trump for prioritizing travel with Harp over his duties, particularly amidst global tensions. Matthews also recounted efforts by President Trump's 2024 campaign to prevent Harp from staying at his Bedminster golf club, suggesting an unusual dynamic. Harp's brother, Preston Harp, indicated that his sister's strong support for President Trump stems from a lifelong fascination with the presidency and patriotic ideals instilled during their upbringing, noting she had previously written letters to other presidents.
