Trump and Natalie Harp, united in holy litigation for the first time
Key Points:
- Natalie Harp, along with former President Donald Trump, has been named in a federal lawsuit concerning a pay-to-play scheme involving early access to Trump’s Truth Social posts for up to $100,000 per month.
- The lawsuit, filed by American Oversight and the Campaign for Accountability, alleges that this scheme constitutes a mix of official corruption and insider trading, as investors could use early information to influence stock market bets.
- The complaint highlights that Trump’s Truth Social posts are treated as official government statements, giving paying investors an unfair advantage over regular investors.
- San Francisco’s city attorney has also sued Trump Media, claiming the pay-to-play arrangement violates California’s Unfair Competition Law by disadvantaging ordinary investors.
- Natalie Harp’s role in posting Trump’s Truth Social content places her directly in the legal crosshairs alongside Trump and other administration officials, drawing criticism and legal scrutiny.
