娜塔莉·哈普的信件揭露二人亲密关系的深度
2:40
美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的亲密助手娜塔莉·哈普在至少两封写给总统的信件中表达了对他的极致忠诚，这些信件于周四由《每日野兽》披露，正值外界对这位贴身助手与特朗普的关系的审查愈发严格。
“我希望我们之间永远不会有任何隔阂，”哈普在其中一封打印出来并签名的信件中写道。信件以“尊敬的总统先生”开头，结尾为“全心全意，娜塔莉”。其中一封信的节选此前曾被《纽约时报》刊登。
本周，民主党参议员乔恩·奥索夫在一段走红的抨击特朗普的演讲中提及哈普的名字，令哈普始终伴随特朗普左右的忠诚形象再次成为焦点。这位佐治亚州参议员指责总统“与娜塔莉乘坐着卡塔尔埃米尔赠送的、看似毫无防备的飞行宫殿出行”，这指的是今年7月伊朗发出威胁后，特朗普秘密搭乘小型飞机离开土耳其时，哈普与极少数助手一同随行。
哈普在2023年的一封信中补充道：“我只想为你带来快乐。很抱歉我没能保持专注。你是我生命中最重要的一切。我永远不想让你失望。谢谢你成为我此生的守护者和保护者。”
在另一封信中，哈普回忆了她在保守派媒体“One America News Network”担任主持人时二人的关系。
“我怀念你在我主持脱口秀节目时打来电话的日子，我们可以无话不谈，”哈普写道。“我想要重拾那种默契。我们不必总是谈论工作！！”
在同一封信中，哈普还补充道：“还有，当我犯错时，请你告诉我？如果我确实该受责备，你完全有权骂我一顿，因为没有人比你更了解或更在乎我。”

CNN尚未独立证实哈普确实在2023年写下并寄出了这些信件。《每日野兽》称，作家迈克尔·沃尔夫在撰写一本关于特朗普2024年竞选活动的书籍时获得了这些信件。
白宫发言人戴维斯·英格尔在给CNN的一份声明中为哈普辩护，称她是“特朗普总统团队中最忠诚、最勤奋的助手之一”。
但白宫官员近日私下承认，这场更尖锐、范围更广的攻击产生了反效果，反而让外界更加关注哈普与特朗普的关系。
哈普与特朗普的亲密程度极高——2023年10月，她曾躲在一辆SUV的后备箱里，陪同特朗普前往纽约市出庭，CNN周二曾报道此事。当时车辆里已经没有空位，但她坚称特朗普亲自邀请她出席，且坚决不肯被落下。
熟悉哈普工作的官员告诉CNN，哈普几乎无时无刻不出现在特朗普的活动范围内。但与历任总统办公厅主任和助手不同——比如特朗普第一任期内同样担任总统信息守门人的前私人秘书玛德琳·韦斯特霍特——哈普并未坐在椭圆形办公室外，而是身处办公室内。哈普一天中的大部分时间都与特朗普在一起，旁听会议并与他保持持续沟通。
官员们透露，她会与特朗普一直聊到深夜，讨论社交媒体帖子。哈普同时也是外国领导人试图联系特朗普的渠道，任务包括联系特朗普在电视上看到的人物。当特朗普不想直接联系他人时，也会让她代为传递便条。
多名官员表示，他们的工作关系之所以高效，源于哈普对总统的绝对忠诚。
但多位消息人士透露，哈普的行事风格曾惹恼高级助手，有时甚至有人试图将她排除在总统核心圈子之外。
这位前电视主持人在将特朗普誉为拯救了自己生命的人之后开始为特朗普工作。哈普已成为总统与外界的主要沟通渠道，传递盟友的信息、安排会面、打字撰写Truth Social平台的帖子、随身携带赞扬性文章的打印件，同时全天候与他保持近距离接触。
她被称为“人形打印机”——她在其中一封信中提到了这个称号，信中称特朗普在一次苏格兰和爱尔兰之行中“强迫我‘断开连接’”。
“我不必一直当‘人形打印机’。我可以抽出时间享受愉快的交谈，到一天结束时依然能完成所有工作。事实上，我甚至有时间在清晨和傍晚散步，欣赏日出和日落（不过我确实忘了吃饭和睡觉！），”她写道。

Natalie Harp’s letters reveal the extent of their close connection
2:40
President Donald Trump’s close aide Natalie Harp expressed her utmost loyalty to him in at least two letters addressed to the president, which were published by The Daily Beast on Thursday amid increased scrutiny of the close aide’s relationship to Trump.
“I want things to always be right between us,” Harp wrote in one of the letters, which were printed out and signed. It began with “Dear Mr. President” and concluded with, “With all my heart, Natalie.” Excerpts of one of the letters had previously been published by the New York Times.
Harp’s constant and dedicated presence at Trump’s side has been in the spotlight this week after Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff mentioned her by name in a now-viral speech attacking Trump. The Georgia senator swiped at the president’s “travel with Natalie on their apparently defenseless flying palace gifted by the Emir of Qatar,” a reference to her joining the president — along with a very limited group of aides — when he secretly boarded a smaller aircraft to leave Turkey due to a threat from Iran in July.
She added in the letter from 2023: “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 another letter, Harp reminisced about their relationship when she was a host on the conservative One America News Network.
“I miss the days when you used to call, during my Talkshow days, and we’d talk about everything and nothing,” Harp wrote. “I want to get back to that synergy. We shouldn’t have to talk about work all the time!!”
In the same letter, Harp added: “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.”

CNN has not independently confirmed that Harp wrote or sent these letters to Trump in 2023. The Daily Beast said the writer Michael Wolff obtained them while he was writing a book about Trump’s 2024 campaign.
White House spokesperson Davis Ingle defended Harp in a statement to CNN, saying she is “one of the most loyal and hardest working aides on President Trump’s team.”
But White House officials have privately acknowledged in recent days that the sharper, widespread attacks have had the adverse effect of bringing more attention to Harp’s relationship with Trump.
Harp is so close to Trump that she once rode in an SUV trunk to accompany him to a court appearance in New York City in October 2023, CNN reported on Tuesday. There wasn’t room for her in the vehicle, but she insisted that Trump had personally asked her to attend and was determined not to be left behind.
Harp is omnipresent in Trump’s orbit, officials familiar with her role have told CNN. But unlike past staff secretaries and aides to the president — like Trump’s former personal secretary Madeleine Westerhout, who similarly served as the president’s gatekeeper of information during his first term — she doesn’t sit outside the Oval Office, but in it. Harp is with Trump much of the day, sitting in on meetings and in constant communication with him.
She speaks with Trump late into the night about social media posts, the officials said. Harp is also a channel for foreign leaders to try to reach the president and is tasked with contacting people he sees on television. She is someone he will ask to send notes to others when he doesn’t want to reach out directly.
Their working relationship is so effective, officials said, because of her total loyalty to the president.
But Harp’s methods have irked senior aides and at times prompted efforts to box her out of the president’s inner circle, according to multiple sources who described her dynamic with Trump.
The former television host began working for Trump after crediting him with saving her life. Harp has become a main conduit between the president and the outside world, passing along messages from allies and setting up meetings, typing out Truth Social posts and toting printouts of laudatory articles, all while staying in close physical proximity at all hours of the day.
She is known as the “human printer” — a title she referenced in one of the letters, in which she said Trump “forced me to ‘unplug’” during a trip to Scotland and Ireland.
“I didn’t have to be ‘Human Printer.’ I could take time to enjoy good conversation, and still get all my work done at the end of the day. In fact, I even had time to take long morning and evening walks to enjoy each Sunrise and Sunset (though I did forget to eat and sleep!),” she wrote.
