Trump aide Natalie Harp squeezes into SUV trunk to accompany president to court
Natalie Harp, a personal aide to Donald Trump, allegedly crawled into the trunk of an SUV after staff said there was no seat for her during a New York court appearance.
During a scheduled court appearance in New York City in October 2023, staff preparing Trump’s motorcade discovered no space for aide Natalie Harp. According to two sources, a heated argument broke out in the lobby, with Harp insisting the president had asked her to be present. Reportedly, she then entered the SUV’s trunk, a claim supported by a photograph seen by a news outlet. The incident was reported as a breaking news story, and a major news website has sought comment from the White House.
