Natalie Harp, Donald Trump's ever-present aide, attended Sunday's Freedom 250 Grand Prix in the president's official viewing box — yet she was nowhere to be found in the White House's official video of the event.

Harp, 35, appeared in numerous photographs and videos from the Washington, D.C. event, but she was largely excluded from the tightly edited social media footage released by the White House, The Daily Beast reported Monday.

Harp, a former One America News Network host who served as an aide in Trump's first White House and returned to a similar role in his second term, has long been one of the most visible staffers at the president's side. During Trump's first term, she was widely reported to travel with a portable printer so she could hand him printed copies of favorable news coverage and social media posts.

One video, which was shared by the White House, the first lady, and the race's official Instagram account, rapidly cycles through scenes from the event while closely cropping Trump and Melania and largely eliminating other attendees from the frame.

Another clip of Trump waving the green flag to begin the race was cropped so tightly that it appeared almost devoid of context, according to the outlet. A version posted on X included Melania but cut off part of the Fox Sports logo.

The original footage briefly captured Harp smiling and clapping in the background. She was also visible for approximately three seconds in a longer Fox Sports clip, but she disappeared from subsequent White House images showing Trump holding the flag.

The editing choices come as Harp faces renewed scrutiny over her unusually close relationship with the president and reported tensions with Melania. The first lady appeared to leave a suite at one point on Sunday as Harp entered, The Daily Beast reported.

"Harp—who has attracted media attention over the past week after Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff made a very public remark about her relationship with the president—is reportedly on shaky ground with Melania, who has been largely absent from the White House of late," the publication wrote Monday.

Ossoff made the remark at a town hall event in his home state of Georgia and later said he regretted it after criticism from Republicans. Melania, meanwhile, has kept a limited public schedule during Trump's second term, with multiple outlets reporting she has spent much of her time in New York and Florida rather than Washington.

The attention to how the White House edits its official imagery is not without precedent. During Trump's first term, then-press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders shared a video of a press-conference exchange between CNN's Jim Acosta and a White House intern that multiple news organizations said appeared altered, fueling debate over the handling of official footage.

The White House did not immediately respond to The Daily Beast's request for comment.
