Natalie Harp, a White House aide whose remarkably close relationship with Donald Trump has recently come under scrutiny, wrote reverent letters to the president that stressed her devotion to him, according to new reporting.

The Daily Beast published two letters from Harp to the president around the time she traveled with him to Scotland and Ireland in 2023. Author Michael Wolff obtained the documents while writing his book about Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign, according to The Daily Beast.

MS NOW has not confirmed the reporting.

In the letters, Harp, now 35, calls Trump her “Guardian and Protector in this Life,” claims that “no one knows or cares about me more” than he does and declares herself “unworthy” of him. The letters portray an adoring aide who is extraordinarily deferential to the president, and who appears to view him as a hero-like figure.

“I haven’t been myself, dwelling on the Past, and the pain of losing my Dad, and I started letting the remarks of people who haven’t bothered me before, get to me — not because I care what others think, but because I see myself being lowered in your eyes and good opinion,” Harp writes in one letter. “That is the fear you see, because I never want to bring you anything but joy. I’m sorry I lost my focus. You are all that matters to me. I don’t want to ever let you down. Thank you for being my Guardian and Protector in this Life.”

In a second letter, Harp details how the trip helped her “unplug.” She writes that she was approaching burnout and “starting to envy those whose only ‘job’ seems to be to talk with you, and look pretty. I want that job!!” She laments having to discuss work often with Trump instead of their phone conversations “about everything and nothing” when she was a host on the far-right One America News Network.

“I need to reunite my past self with my current into a better version who will make you proud. And please, when I fail, will you tell me? You have the absolute right to cuss me out, if need be, when I deserve it, because no one knows or cares about me more,” she writes.

“To modify a classic, ‘I could not have parted with you, to anyone less worthy’” she continues, quoting a line from Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice.” “And, I will add, it is I who is unworthy.”

Several lines in the letters were previously reported by New York Times journalists Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan.

Harp’s relationship with the 80-year-old president has been widely speculated about after Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., recently commented on Harp sneaking out of Air Force One in a catering truck with Trump last month due to a potential threat from Iran.

Harp was one of several aides who joined Trump on the clandestine operation, but her close relationship with the president has raised eyebrows — and a virulent defense from the White House. MS NOW first reported on Wednesday that Harp had declined to seek routine security clearance to work at the White House for more than a year before Trump intervened, and she filled out the forms to do so.

Asked for comment on the letters, White House spokesman Davis Ingle said in a statement to MS NOW that Harp is “one of the most loyal and hardest-working aides” to Trump.

“The Fake News’s continued attacks on President Trump and his Administration prove exactly why trust in media is at historic lows,” he said. “The media should focus on reporting real news and stop trying to smear dedicated public servants.”
