Bill Maher Reveals Why He’s Too Scared to Touch Natalie Harp Saga
The Daily Beast • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Bill Maher, on his show Real Time, largely avoided discussing Natalie Harp, President Trump’s aide, due to a costly legal battle with far-right conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer in 2024.
- Harp, known as Trump’s “human printer,” gained attention after Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff mentioned her during a campaign rally, highlighting her close and devoted work for Trump.
- Maher acknowledged Harp’s hard work and dedication but refrained from deeper commentary, citing his past defamation lawsuit from Loomer, which he won but found expensive and unpleasant.
- Laura Loomer had sued Maher over a 2024 joke implying she was having an affair with Trump, but the case was dismissed by a federal judge as the remarks were deemed clearly comedic.
- Maher’s brief defense of Harp circulated widely on conservative social media platforms, including those frequented by Loomer.
