THE OTHER glamorous aide supporting Trump in his lawsuit: Meet his golf partner Natalie Harp
He may be stuck in criminal court and frustrated that he can’t be on the campaign trail.
But Donald Trump has a collection of loyal and very glamorous aides who support him in Manhattan court with every twist and turn of the case.
Margo Martin stole the show on Monday as she joined the former president in the build-up to the first day of the historic trial.
Joining him Monday and Tuesday was another staunch staffer, Natalie Harp, who credits the presumptive Republican nominee with saving her life amid her battle with bone cancer.
Harp is among the entourage accompanying the former president during his first criminal trial in Manhattan this week.
The 32-year-old left his hosting gig at the conservative One America News Network in 2022 for a role with Trump’s communications team.

Harp credits Trump’s right to try law for allowing her to seek alternative treatment for her bone cancer after chemotherapy failed. “I’m not dying of cancer anymore thanks to President Trump, I’m living with cancer,” Harp said in 2019
Harp was seen outside the courtroom in downtown Manhattan on Monday during a break from the first day of jury selection in the case alleging Trump falsified records related to hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 presidential election.
The blonde also stepped out of the motorcade with Trump on the second day of the trial on Tuesday, along with the former president’s deputy communications director Margo Martin.
Harp was the second OANN employee to jump ship for Trump’s team — after Christina Bobb left a year earlier. She ended her tenure as host of The Real Story and took the job with the campaign in March 2022.
The glamorous young assistant comes from a devout Christian family.

She is often seen accompanying the 2024 presidential candidate on his golf outings, driving her own golf cart equipped with a laptop and computer.
Harp’s connections to Trump go back several years.
In 2019, the blonde credited a health policy introduced by the then-president for saving her life as she battled bone cancer. She argued that the Right to Try Act, signed by Trump in 2018, allowed her to seek effective treatment for her stage 2 bone cancer after others had failed.
The law allows patients to apply to use experimental drugs that are not FDA approved.
Harp was diagnosed with cancer in 2015 and tried chemotherapy twice without success before finding ‘another oncologist who was willing to try a different approach’.
“I’m not dying of cancer anymore thanks to President Trump, I’m living with cancer,” Harp said in 2019.

Harp has his own golf buggy that doubles as a mobile office equipped with a laptop. She regularly accompanies Trump while he is playing golf at Mar-a-Lago
After carving out a successful career at OAN — where her segments took aim at Democrat politics and were often peppered with references to her faith — Harp was poached by Trump. The former president was also likely caught off guard by her regular social media sharing of his statements.
Harp is now often seen by the former president’s side and helps run his social media accounts.
She has a desk outside Trump’s office and is ready to accompany him to meetings or trips.
“She’s a sign of the people around him who just love him,” an adviser told the Washington Post in December. “Love him too much.”
Harp said: ‘Like other staff I spend time with him. He is extremely popular with the people, I can see that by being with him.’
She also spoke about her battle with cancer at the 2020 Republican National Convention in a speech she later pinned to the top of her Twitter page.
‘When I failed the chemotherapies that were on the market, nobody wanted me in their clinical trials. They didn’t give me the right to try experimental treatments, Mr. President. You did, and without you I would be dead waiting for them to be approved, Harp said at the time.

Harp is the daughter of the late Dr. Robert Harp and his wife, Jill. Her parents were married for 37 years before Dr. Harp died on July 17, 2020. Trump’s aide shared a rare personal post to her social media channels after his death, including a tribute from her mother

Preston is vocal about his support for Palestine and often shares criticism of Israel to his profile.
