President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump were seated together at the Freedom 250 IndyCar event in Washington, D.C., where they were joined by longtime aide Natalie Harp.
President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump watched the Freedom 250 IndyCar race in Washington, D.C., on Sunday, with aide Natalie Harp seated nearby. The trio were observed in the grandstand as the race proceeded.
Harp, who has been working with the president on communications and scheduling, has drawn media attention for her frequent presence alongside the president. A report earlier this week noted that she had been employed in the White House for more than a year without completing the standard security clearance process.
"The scrutiny surrounding Harp is super misogynistic," Senator Bernie Moreno said, adding that the focus would be different if the aide were a man.
President Trump has previously said he helped bring the inaugural Washington, D.C., IndyCar race to fruition after years of stalled planning.
