Trump aide Harp reportedly devoted to pastor

Natalie Harp’s estranged brother, Preston, says she began attending sermons by California megachurch pastor David Jeremiah at about 13 and later worked in the church office with their mother. He contrasted her attendance at adult services with his own youth-group participation and said he left the family home after expressing doubts about their Christianity. Jeremiah later joined pastors at a 2016 meeting with Donald Trump, then seeking evangelical support; separate letters published by the Daily Beast show Harp expressing intense loyalty to Trump. The accounts describe two connections in Harp’s life but do not establish that her relationship with Jeremiah caused or directly shaped her devotion to Trump.
