A female campaign aide was the “reliable nutter conduit” to Donald Trump—who introduced him to conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer, according to a new book.
Former One America News Network anchor Natalie Harp, 34, invited Loomer into the campaign’s inner circle to “pal around with Trump,” writes author Michael Wolff in in his upcoming book, All or Nothing: How Trump Recaptured America.
The Daily Beast has obtained a copy of the book ahead of publication on Tuesday Feb. 25. It is certain to create shockwaves inside Trump’s White House with its unsparing description of a chaotic and fissiparous campaign, a candidate at times untethered from reality, and a supporting dramatis personae of oddballs and opportunists.
One of the most vivid characters is Harp, 34, who had first come into Trump’s orbit in 2019, when she credited his “Right to Try” law with saving her from cancer, an account which Wolff describes as “having holes.” She became part of his campaign in three years later.
Wolff writes that Harp became “the keeper of the ‘Truth’ phone” and claims she sent out as many as 100 posts a day on Donald Trump’s Truth Social account during the election campaign.
“Anyone who wanted to get to Trump could just text her,” writes the best-selling author.
In the late summer of 2023, he writes, Harp invited Loomer to meet Trump at a tournament at his Bedminster golf course in New Jersey.
Loomer was “dismissed as a hopeless liar and fabulist by even Marjorie Taylor Greene and a subject of constant effort by the Trump political team to keep her as far away as possible,” adds Wolff, who said that she was given access to Trump by Harp, nevertheless.
The conspiracy theorist accompanied Trump on his 9/11 trips to New York and Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where one of the hijacked planes crashed, despite being a 9/11 “truther.” She was also on Trump Force One on the way to his debate with Kamala Harris the previous day.
But Wolff writes that Loomer was “entertaining to Trump and an adept flatterer.”
“There was almost no furthest extreme, straining-the-bounds-of-all-credulity, right-wing conspiracy theory she had not adopted and aggressively promoted,” writes Wolff.
Trump liked to have her around “for reasons psycho-sexual or as a reliable source of flattery,” Wolff writes.
Wolff writes that Loomer was “thrown under the bus” when the media drew attention to her presence on the campaign.
But Harp’s status was never in doubt. The aide, reportedly dubbed the “human printer” by her colleagues because she often carried around a portable printer to give printouts to Trump, was “wholly in charge of the Trump posts–that is, they were her posts,” reports Wolff.
She delivered Trump a daily collection of “out-of-date articles and printouts from obscure websites and fan artwork downloaded from strange Trump-adoring places on the Internet.”
The author described Harp’s role as “both rogue and yet official–with constant confusion over whether it was her voice or his; more and more, it was one voice.”
Since joining Trump’s campaign in 2022, Wolf says Harp grew in influence to become “likely the greatest single influence on the candidate, his muse, his whisperer, his security blanket.”
Trump would defend her to other staffers, saying, “Natalie’s so quick, she’s great, you guys don’t like her because she’s so fast and so good,” writes Wolff.
Wolff writes that Trump used the presence of “wackos” around him as a way to demonstrate to more rational aides that he was the “absolute boss.”
But Harp’s presence took a darker twist, Wolff writes: the Secret Service became concerned about Harp to the point where they considered her a “potential danger to herself as well as to the president.” According to Wolff, Harp’s “fixation” was an “open secret” among Trump’s staff, who found it “discomfiting,” and the alleged “aggressiveness of her attention” also became a security concern.
Wolff reveals an astonishing note she sent to Trump, which said, “I want things always to be right between us.” It went on, “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 . . .With all my heart, Natalie.”
It was one of a series of notes, Wolff reveals.
The White House responded by sending the Daily Beast a quote from Steven Cheung, White House Communications Director, given to Fox News Digital in December.
Cheung said Harp is “a trusted and valued member of President Trump’s team.”
“And she is certainly a big reason why his operation has been as successful as it has ever been,” Cheung told Fox News Digital.
“Her work ethic and dedication to helping President Trump achieve his historic victory is second to none.”
Fears that it would be bad news for those around Trump had already prompted a statement from some of his closest aides in November, when it was first rumored that Wolff was writing a book on the campaign. The statement from senior staff of the 2024 Trump campaign, including co-chairs Susie Wiles—now the president’s chief-of-staff—and Chris LaCivita, read: “A number of us have received inquiries from the disgraced author Michael Wolff, whose previous work can only be described as fiction.
“He is a known peddler of fake news who routinely concocts situations, conversations, and conclusions that never happened. As a group, we have decided not to respond to his bad faith inquiries, and we encourage others to completely disregard whatever nonsense he eventually publishes. Consider this our blanket response to whatever he writes.”
