At the IndyCar Freedom 250 Grand Prix, Natalie Harp—Trump’s long-time aide and gatekeeper—was visibly near the president but largely cropped out of White House social coverage, fueling scrutiny of her growing influence and a reportedly ardent to-dying-for-the-president dynamic. Leaked letters praising Trump and Secret Service concerns accompany reports of a tense relationship with Melania Trump, suggesting Harp’s once-background role is increasingly under the spotlight.
