US President Donald Trump‘s political aide, Natalie Harp, has been named in a lawsuit seeking a hefty sum. This revolves around the President’s early access service for his Truth Social posts. Harp allegedly plays an important role in Trump’s rants on the platform. The report drops after they were spotted on a recent golf outing.
Natalie Harp’s name comes up in Truth Social legal case
According to The Independent, President Donald Trump’s top aides, Natalie Harp and Dan Scavino, have been named in a lawsuit. The report suggests Harp is also being sued, as she is known to help the President post on Truth Social.
The lawsuit was filed last month after Trump announced a $100,000 charge for early access to his Truth Social posts. The Intercept and the Freedom of the Press Foundation filed the same, claiming that it violates First Amendment rights. They asserted that the updates regarding upcoming policies, government actions, and other public announcements, which the President promises on the platform, should be equally shared with all without any premium fee.
Seth Stern, Chief of Advocacy at Freedom of the Press Foundation, called out the subscription plan in August. He said, “A president selling priority access to news he himself generates for the benefit of a private company he controls is so blatantly corrupt and unconstitutional.”
However, Trump Media & Technology Group, the organization behind the Truth Social platform, slammed the lawsuit. They suggested that the “left-wing activists are trying to wrongfully weaponize the courts to censor him again and harm our shareholders.”
Natalie Harp’s name in the lawsuit may be related to her major involvement in Donald Trump’s posts on the platform. Based on previous reports, Harp introduced him to AI-generated slop. The President has since made use of the technology to post videos and photos on the platform.
