As Zacharia takes on her new position, Natalie Harp continues to garner attention. Known for her dedication, Harp is responsible for writing and managing Trump’s posts on Truth Social, becoming integral to his team.

In an interview with News24 Digital, Zacharia defended Harp’s commitment to her role, describing her as a “true, pure patriot” who is devoted to serving the country and the president. Zacharia criticized the media’s portrayal of Harp, suggesting that reports were exaggerated due to slow news periods. Zacharia accused Senator Ossoff of intentionally stirring controversy regarding Harp.
Karoline Leavitt, Zacharia’s predecessor, also supported Harp before leaving her position, highlighting Harp’s security clearance and dedication to Trump.
