Donald Trump draws scrutiny over comments regarding White House female staff

President Donald Trump has drawn scrutiny regarding his descriptions of female White House staff. During an appearance at the Nassau County Police Academy in New York, Trump discussed declining crime rates in Washington, D.C., but his remarks focused on “young, beautiful girls” in the White House who allegedly approach him to express gratitude for his administration’s law-and-order policies.

Following the departure of Karoline Leavitt, the youngest press secretary in American history, Natalie Harp has taken a more prominent role within the administration. Harp, an executive assistant to the president, has been frequently seen traveling with Trump and is rumored to potentially fill the spokesperson role previously held by Leavitt. Trump has reportedly expressed high regard for Harp, who has been present during his travels in Washington, Florida, and abroad.
