Melania Trump's name has been dragged back into America's political soap opera after reports in Washington claimed Secret Service agents privately raised concerns about the 'aggressive attention' shown to Donald Trump by his 34-year-old aide Natalie Harp, according to accounts in two forthcoming books.
Harp's unusually close role around Trump has been whispered about in conservative circles for months, but the latest details come from established Trump chroniclers rather than anonymous gossip. The President, now 78, has long relied on a tight inner circle that prizes loyalty above formal experience. Harp, a former TV host at the right-wing One America News Network, has become one of the most prominent faces in that orbit, often seen trailing him at rallies and Mar-a-Lago events.
