The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most sources agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

Metadata from a 14-page memo Donald Trump sent to the Jan. 6 congressional committee after its October 2022 subpoena identifies White House aide Natalie Harp as the document’s author. Harp, 35, is Trump’s executive assistant, earns $150,000, and has drawn scrutiny over letters to Trump calling him her “Guardian and Protector.” A deactivated social media account linked to Harp posted about 150 pro-Trump messages on Jan. 6, 2021. Sen. Jon Ossoff’s public reference to Harp intensified political attention to her White House role.
