Donald Trump's unusually close relationship with White House aide Natalie Harp is facing renewed scrutiny after a series of reports highlighted the extraordinary level of access and loyalty she has developed around the president.
Harp, 35, has recently become a prominent figure in US political coverage after Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff singled her out during a campaign speech. Ossoff criticised Trump for what he described as a focus on personal interests, saying the president wanted to 'build his ballroom and travel with Natalie' rather than concentrate on his responsibilities. His remarks prompted a furious response from Trump's allies and sent social media into a frenzy over the nature of the relationship.
