What to know about Natalie Harp, the Trump aide whom Ossoff put in the spotlight

The Washington Post explains who Natalie Harp is after Sen. Jon Ossoff invoked the 35-year-old aide during a campaign rally.

Harp's official title is executive assistant to the president. She is known by some in Trump's orbit as the "human printer" because she carries a portable printer and battery pack to give the president physical copies of information wherever he travels.

Ossoff, at the rally: "He golfs and trades stocks. See, he doesn't want to do the job. He wants to build his ballroom and travel with Natalie on their apparently defenseless flying palace gifted by the emir of Qatar."

In a statement to The Washington Post, White House spokesman Davis Ingle called Harp "one of the most loyal and hardest working aides on President Trump's team" and dismissed Ossoff's rhetoric as "cringeworthy."

The Post also describes the White House's separate rapid-response attack on CNN's Kristen Holmes, who had asked Trump about the matter: the statement called Holmes a "disgraceful, humiliating embarrassment to her alleged profession" and invoked her children.

The Post notes that when Harp credited the Right to Try law with her survival in 2019, experts said it was unlikely the law had any effect on her case — the drug she credited was already approved by the FDA for compassionate use.

Harp in 2019, describing Trump's role in her treatment: "But then, an outsider — my Good Samaritan, President Donald J. Trump — he saw me there, and he didn't walk by. He stopped."

The Post quotes Maggie Haberman's characterization of Harp as a "binky" or "comfort blanket" for Trump, and reports she "has a tremendous amount of influence over what information makes it in front of the president."
