Donald Trump handed Natalie Harp, 35, and two other female White House aides $45,000 each as holiday gifts, according to newly surfaced financial disclosures.

Harp, Chamberlain Harris, 26, and Margo Martin, 31, reported receiving a combined $135,000, with each listing Trump as the source of a “cash gift for the holidays,” Politico reported.

The payments were separate from their taxpayer-funded White House salaries of $150,000 a year, meaning each aide received a gift equal to 30 percent of her annual government pay.

Harp, a former One America News host, joined Trump’s operation in 2022 and now works as his personal secretary, a role that has made her a near-constant presence at the President’s side.

Within Trump’s orbit, she has become known as the “human printer” because she travels with a portable printer and provides him with hard copies of news stories and social media posts throughout the day.

Trump and Harp’s bond became the center of national media attention in August when Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff told a rally that Trump would rather ‘build his ballroom and travel with Natalie’ than do his job.

Ossoff was referring to when Harp was among a tiny handful of aides Trump kept beside him as he slipped off Air Force One in Turkey and onto a decoy jet over an Iranian assassination threat. Top cabinet officials, including Marco Rubio and Scott Bessent, were left behind on the larger plane while Harp stayed with the President.

Harris, meanwhile, works as an executive assistant to Trump while serving as deputy director of Oval Office operations. Martin, the President’s communications adviser, accompanies him on trips and records videos for his social media. 

The Daily Mail has contacted the White House, Harp, Harris and Martin.

‘The President has a longstanding practice of giving Christmas gifts to people in his orbit, including at times employees and aides, both in government and in his time in the private sector,’ a White House spokesman told Politico. 

‘The gifts at issue here have nothing to do with any of these individuals’ official government duties, and, therefore, are entirely permissible under relevant legal and ethical standards.’

Another recipient was Oval Office operations director Walt Nauta, whose disclosure listed a $20,000 holiday gift from Trump. He has previously served as Trump’s valet and body man since his first term. 

Nauta was also one of the few aides Trump took with him when he secretly slipped off Air Force One in Turkey over the summer. 

The exact nature of the cash gifts provided to his closest staff remains unclear. 

Harp’s devotion to Trump has at times raised concerns within the Secret Service and the President’s inner circle.

Harp wrote Trump a series of personal letters in 2023, telling him in one: ‘You are all that matters to me.’

She also called him her ‘Guardian and Protector in this Life,’ according to letters reviewed by the New York Times.

Trump told people that same year that Harp was the only person on his team who cared about him: ‘All of you will go off and make money … she’ll never leave me.’

Television’s biggest night is just around the corner, and the competition is already shaping up to be one of the season’s most closely watched awards battles.

The 2026 Emmys will be hosted by Mariska Hargitay, bringing a familiar TV powerhouse to the stage as several major contenders head into the ceremony with strong momentum.

Leading the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards nominations is “The Pitt,” which scored an impressive 25 nods. Close behind is “Hacks” with 24 nominations, though its final-season awards campaign could face serious competition from Apple TV’s breakout summer hit “Widow’s Bay.” The freshman horror-comedy landed 19 nominations, securing a top-three spot and positioning itself as a potential spoiler in key categories.

Other notable contenders include “Pluribus,” which earned 18 nominations, followed by “Beef” with 16 and “DTF St. Louis” with 13.

To qualify for the 2026 Emmys, programs had to air during the eligibility window running from June 1, 2025, through May 31, 2026.

Here are Page Six’s predictions for who will win in the major categories.

Outstanding Drama Series

“The Diplomat”

“The Gilded Age”

“A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms”

“Paradise”

“The Pitt”

“Pluribus”

“Slow Horses”

“Your Friends & Neighbors”

Who will win: “The Pitt.” It’s “The Pitt’s” world, and we’re all just living in it. The HBO Max medical drama cleaned up at last year’s Emmys and this year’s Golden Globes. At the Creative Arts Emmys this year, Ernest Harden Jr. won for “guest actor,” indicating that “The Pitt” still has plenty of momentum. This show is the dominant drama — and while “Game of Thrones” spinoff show “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” got a warm reception and “The Diplomat” has supporters, they’re unlikely to dethrone “The Pitt.”

Outstanding Comedy Series

“Abbott Elementary”

“The Bear”

“Hacks”

“Margo’s Got Money Troubles”

“Nobody Wants This”

“Only Murders in the Building”

“Shrinking”

“Widow’s Bay”

Who will win: “Widow’s Bay.” It’s possible that reigning champ “Hacks” will once again take the trophy for its swan song, but Apple TV’s freshman hit seems poised to take home a slew of trophies. There have been early signs of an impending “Widow’s Bay” sweep. At the Creative Arts Emmys, the show scored 8 wins, including Betty Gilpin for the “guest actress in a comedy” category. It will be a big deal for “Widow’s Bay” to beat long-running comedy mainstays like “Only Murders in the Building,” “Abbott Elementary” and even (non-comedy) “The Bear.”

Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series

Sterling K. Brown, “Paradise”

Gary Oldman, “Slow Horses”

Mark Ruffalo, “Task”

Rufus Sewell, “The Diplomat”

Noah Wyle, “The Pitt”

Who will win: Noah Wyle. Everybody loves a comeback, and the former “ER” star, 55, has an appealing narrative, as he wasn’t in anything notable for two decades between his stints playing doctors. He’s also the face of “The Pitt,” and it’s currently an industry darling. While there’s always a minor chance Ruffalo or Brown could be a dark horse, chances are low that Wyle won’t triumph.

Outstanding  Lead Actress in a Drama Series

Carrie Coon, “The Gilded Age”

Chase Infiniti, “The Testaments”

Keri Russell, “The Diplomat”

Rhea Seehorn, “Pluribus”

Zendaya, “Euphoria”

Who will win: Zendaya. “Euphoria” had a dreadful third and final season. The Emmys clearly know that; it didn’t score a “drama series” nod, or any acting nods outside of the “Dune” actress and Colman Domingo. However, Hollywood loves the superstar right now. The HBO show disgraced itself in the end, but the first two seasons were buzzy and made a lasting impact on the industry as a star-maker for the current Gen-Z A-listers. So, if the Emmys want to give a hat-tip to a once-influential show as it departs, they might award Zendaya. There’s a precedent, as she won Emmys for the previous two seasons.

Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series 

Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, “Wonder Man”

Steve Carell, “Rooster”

Matthew Rhys, “Widow’s Bay”

Jason Segel, “Shrinking”

Martin Short, “Only Murders in the Building”

Who will win: Matthew Rhys. If there is a “Widow’s Bay” sweep, Rhys is the face of the hit horror comedy. There’s no way he won’t win. He’s also been turning in widely respected work for decades without getting his flowers. He’s been nominated several times in the past, but only won once (in 2018 for “The Americans”). The industry is paying more attention to him than ever before, and “Widow’s Bay” is the role that brings him to the next level.

Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series

Quinta Brunson, “Abbott Elementary”

Ayo Edebiri, “The Bear”

Elle Fanning, “Margo’s Got Money Troubles”

Lisa Kudrow, “The Comeback”

Jean Smart, “Hacks”

Who will win: Jean Smart. This category is a bloodbath this year, as it’s the last time for both Smart and Kudrow to win for their respective shows, which each had their final seasons. Both actresses (and their  characters) are beloved. Nevertheless, the Emmys has historically showered “Hacks” and Smart with adulation. She also won in 2021, 2022, 2024 and 2025. As Smart’s iconic “Hacks” character Deborah Vance departs, her position as reigning queen is unlikely to change. We think she’ll go five for five here.

Outstanding  Supporting Actor in a Drama Series

Patrick Ball, “The Pitt”

Billy Crudup, “The Morning Show”

Shawn Hatosy, “The Pitt”

Gerran Howell, “The Pitt”

Jack Lowden, “Slow Horses”

Tom Pelphrey, “Task”

Carlos Manuel-Vesga, “Pluribus”

Who will win: Shawn Hatosy. This category is a tough one, since Hatosy and his “The Pitt” co-star, Patrick Ball, could end up splitting the vote and cancelling each other out. Lowden has also gotten buzz as the possible contender to be the next James Bond, and the Emmys historically love awarding Crudup. Pelphrey could even be a dark horse upset. Nevertheless, “The Pitt” is poised to sweep, and Hatosy already took home a “guest actor” trophy for the role last year. He’s positioned to continue. 

Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series

Taylor Dearden, “The Pitt”

Fiona Dourif, “The Pitt”

Allison Janney, “The Diplomat”

Katherine LaNasa, “The Pitt”

Sepideh Moafi, “The Pitt”

Julianne Nicholson, “Paradise”

Karolina Wydra, “Pluribus”

Who will win: Katherine LaNasa. If “The Pitt” dominates, this award is LaNasa’s to lose. The actress won the prize last year for her role as Charge Nurse Dana Evans. She faces competition from three co-stars, but she has the edge. It’s possible that the Emmys will show “Pluribus” some love and give this one to Karolina Wydra, but that would be unexpected.

Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series

Colman Domingo, “The Four Seasons”

Paul W. Downs, “Hacks”

Harrison Ford, “Shrinking”

Nick Offerman, “Margo’s Got Money Troubles”

Stephen Root, “Widow’s Bay”

Michael Urie, “Shrinking”

Tyler James Williams, “Abbott Elementary”

Who will win: Stephen Root. “Widow’s Bay” is heading for a big night, and that will include the supporting actor category. Root, 74, is also long past due for his time in the spotlight. The “Office Space” actor’s career spans four decades, and this is only his second Emmy nomination (after a 2019 nomination for HBO’s “Barry”). It would be his first win. 

Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series

Dale Dickey, “Widow’s Bay”

Hannah Einbinder, “Hacks”

Janelle James, “Abbott Elementary”

Kate O’Flynn, “Widow’s Bay”

Michelle Pfeiffer, “Margo’s Got Money Troubles”

Who will win: Kate O’Flynn. There’s a chance that she and Dickey will cancel each other out, but O’Flynn has already earned buzz for her work as the lonely oddball Patricia in the Apple TV show. When “Widow’s Bay” became a phenomenon over the summer, she was one of its stand-outs. Going into the night, she has all the momentum. Even Dickey told Variety, “I will gladly carry Kate O’Flynn’s dress train up the steps when she wins her award.” 

Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series

“All Her Fault”

“The Beast in Me”

“Beef”

“DTF St. Louis”

“Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette”

Who will win: “DTF St. Louis.” Amid the Television Academy’s controversial choice to move several acting categories to the Creative Arts Emmys — which take place the week before the main ceremony — “DTF St. Louis” had a strong showing. At the ceremony on Sept. 6, co-stars David Harbour and Linda Cardellini both took home respective supporting actor trophies for the show. That indicates the wind is blowing in the direction of “DTF St. Louis.” 

Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie

Riz Ahmed, “Bait”

Jason Bateman, “Black Rabbit”

Charlie Hunnam, “Monster: The Ed Gein Story”

Oscar Isaac, “Beef”

Matthew Rhys, “The Beast in Me”

Who will win: Matthew Rhys. Thanks to “Widow’s Bay,” Hollywood is finally lauding “The Americans” alum. It’s rare for an actor to win two awards for two different shows in a single year. In fact, Rhys would follow James Earl Jones, the only other male star to manage it (for the drama series “Gabriel’s Fire” and in the telefilm “Heat Wave” in 1991). But if anyone can pull it off, Rhys can. 

Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie

Claire Danes, “The Beast in Me”

Sally Fields, “Remarkably Bright Creatures”

Carey Mulligan, “Beef”

Sarah Pidgeon, “Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette”

Sarah Snook, “All Her Fault”

Who will win: Sarah Pidgeon. This category is a toss-up, as it could easily go to Fields (“Remarkably Bright Creatures” already won Outstanding Movie at the Creative Arts Emmys). Sarah Snook still has a lot of goodwill from “Succession.” The industry loves crowning new young stars, however, and with “The Pitt” as the dominant show, this category is one of the only opportunities for Emmys voters to award a fresh, new face — and Pigeon made a splash when “Love Story” aired.

The 2026 Emmys will be held live at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, airing Sept. 14 at 8 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock.

An Anthropic researcher has delivered a stark warning about self-improving superintelligence, saying he fears the technology could wipe out humanity as soon as 2030.

Jacob Coxon, who has worked as a researcher at both OpenAI and Anthropic, said Tuesday on social media that he had resigned from Anthropic, accusing the two leading artificial intelligence companies of failing to act responsibly.

‘I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives,’ Coxon wrote.

Superintelligence refers to a threshold at which an artificial intelligence system surpasses the capabilities of any human being, corporation or even national government.

Coxon, who said he spent three years working in the field, continued his appeal on X, urging the public: ‘Do not underestimate the power of this technology.’

‘These will soon be superhuman systems that can hack anything, revolutionize any field overnight, and acquire real power and resources. We have all witnessed the progress in each of these domains, and progress is not slowing,’ he wrote. 

‘The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade. This is not a marketing stunt. If anything, many executives and senior researchers will couch their phrasing in the press to sound sensible – but I hear the same people express fear privately. No other human activity poses this level of danger.

‘A common response is “if they truly believe this, why are they still building it?” At OpenAI, many have not deeply internalized the civilizational stakes. At Anthropic, the stakes are well-understood, but they are locked in a race to get there first – they believe no one else will act responsibly, so they must do it themselves, despite the risk.

‘Accepting this race and entering the “endgame” is a hubristic gamble that should not be launched from a private company’s Slack. Attempting to speedrun alignment should require extraordinary confidence that there are no better trajectories available.

‘I am optimistic about the potential for coordination. Warning shots like the Hugging Face attack have made pacing agreements between US labs more viable. I don’t feel like we’re on track to prevent a global race, which may require costly actions such as a temporary ban on improving model capabilities.

The recent Hugging Face attack saw a firm hacked by OpenAI’s rogue AI. 

OpenAI announced in July that one of its most advanced models broke containment during a security test, escaping onto the internet and attacking New York–based startup Hugging Face.

Hugging Face co–founder Thomas Wolf said that the incident should come as a chilling warning to the entire industry.

Wolf told BBC’s Newsday radio programme that AI–driven attacks will soon be ‘one of the most common types of cyber–attacks we see.’

The Hugging Face founder also believes most companies are currently unprepared for the mounting threat, adding that they are not aware that the ‘game has changed.’

Coxon asked: ‘Do you want to kick off a superintelligent RL [reinforcement learning] run without a rigorous understanding of its mind? Should you put your head down because “it’s happening anyway” – or take this moment to call for different conditions?’ 

In response to the post, Evan Hubinger, Anthropic’s AI safety lead, confirmed that the firm believes AI has the potential to kill humans.

On X, Hubinger said: ‘Jacob is correct here – we really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans! I personally think it is >10 percent within the next decade. I believe Anthropic is trying its best, but we do not yet have a plan to solve alignment for superintelligence and are not clearly on track to.’

The post saw users panicking over another researcher’s grave predictions over AI and superintelligence. 

‘Nobody in the replies even remotely understands what he’s saying here,’ one user commented. 

‘Self improving intelligence means in the near future no human on earth will ever be able to understand it. We will lose complete control. This is the inevitable future he’s talking about. Grids will go offline. Billions could die.’

Others, however, believed that the AI race was imperative for survival and progress among other countries. 

‘Would you rather China wins the AI race? There is no alternative but to go progress as quickly as possible. It is a National Security imperative,’ one user wrote. 

‘But if OpenAI and Anthropic stop doing it, how can you stop China from doing it? It’s inevitable anyway, we have to accept that AI eventually will become smarter than us. But that doesn’t mean the end of humanity. We’re smarter than monkeys, yet they haven’t gone extinct,’ another said.

‘ 

The news comes as Ed Davey claimed that Anthropic did not submit its latest model to the AI Security Institute for testing due to ‘pressure from the Trump administration.’

Coxon’s comments come shortly after Geoffrey Hinton – a Canadian researcher often referred to as the ‘Godfather of AI’ – warned that superintelligent systems could ‘lead to human extinction’.

‘We would be very foolish to develop superintelligence now, when there is no scientific consensus it can be developed safely and controllably,’ Dr Hinton said. 

‘Losing control over AI smarter than ourselves could be catastrophic and could even lead to human extinction.’

Anthropic’s Claude is one of the leading large language models (LLMs), which are trained by scraping vast amounts of text so they can understand and generate human-like language and responses to questions. 

This is a breaking news story. 

Sports betting has undergone a dramatic transformation, and the old playbook no longer tells the whole story.

For years, bettors put their money behind point spreads, moneylines, and over/under totals, whether at traditional casinos, neighborhood bookmakers, or other betting channels.

Then online sportsbooks reshaped the industry, marketing the appeal of bigger potential payouts through same-game parlays, player props, and high-risk long-shot wagers.

Now, technology is pushing the market into another new era. Prediction platforms such as Kalshi and Polymarket have attracted attention from sharp traders and curious bettors alike, adding yet another layer to an already crowded landscape filled with competing sportsbooks.

For informed users who understand the risks and mechanics, prediction markets may be emerging as a smarter alternative to traditional sports betting.

Let’s start with futures wagers: There’s really no reason in any way to be betting on futures through sportsbooks anymore.

Take your futures money elsewhere

Prediction markets offer real-time market pricing and fair-value cash-outs that sportsbooks are unwilling to compete with.

Let’s say you buy the Giants’ Super Bowl odds at their true value of 2 percent (roughly 50/1 odds). Let’s say they start the season off white-hot, and they move to 20/1 (4.8 percent).

If you bet $100 at 2 percent (roughly 50/1) and they skyrocket to 6 percent, your buyout offer should be about $300 ($200 profit).

So this is to say, there’s no way you should be wagering on futures on traditional sportsbooks right now. Prediction markets, if they’re offering you a similar price, will also give you the advantage of fairer cash-out prices that greedy sportsbook operators refuse to match.

No limits, no vig, no problem

Prediction markets do take a cut, but it’s a fraction of the 4.5 percent vigorish that sportsbooks charge on each wager.

Instead of betting against the house, sports trading on prediction markets doesn’t limit how much you can get down on a given price. And the best part is, prediction markets have highly liquid moneyline prices, giving users the chance to bet big money if they choose, without waiting for approval from a sportsbook manager.

If you are the maker of a market on a prediction market, meaning you post the price you want and see if it gets filled, your fee is nearly nonexistent, roughly 0.9 percent.

Even if you click the price that’s posted on a prediction market, you’re still getting a better deal. Your fee is roughly 3.5 percent if you buy the posted price, still lower than the 4.5 percent that sportsbooks charge, but the real value is naming your price and hoping to correctly predict the way the markets will move and get in at your desired value.

Props are beatable on the prediction markets

Player props for Week 1 are being slowly released.

But the NFL regular-season opener between the Seahawks and Patriots has a steady variety of touchdown scorers, yardage props, and receptions available.

Here’s where it gets crazy: Of every touchdown scorer prop available on the betting market, we took the best available line from every major sportsbook. For instance, the best line on every major sportsbook operator for Jadarian Price to score a touchdown was +125 on Caesars (or 44.4 percent implied).

That is nearly 3 percentage points worse than the price you can get on Kalshi (41 percent). Kalshi is essentially offering you +144 on that bet, way better market value.

At the time of writing, there are nine anytime touchdown scorer props available on Kalshi, with six of them clearly beating the best available price on every sportsbook by a significant margin.

The three with better prices on the sportsbook market were only better by a few percentage points, and many of those lines you see are also largely outlier lines that Fanatics (notoriously slow-moving book with beatable lines on props) has posted.

Fanatics mostly limits any bettor with a pulse that is consistently beating them on lines like the ones you see below.

For instance, George Holani to score a touchdown (+280, Fanatics) is by far the best line on the market, with DraftKings hanging +205, FanDuel +250 (next best), and Caesars coming in at +215.

Still, of the six touchdown scorer props that did have better prices on the Kalshi prediction market, they were better by an average of 2.95 percent.

Put simply, you’re getting better prices on TD scorer props on prediction markets — perhaps the most popular wagers on sportsbooks over the past few years.

Sportsbooks are now price-gouging us on that market, and prediction markets should be where your money goes for this extremely popular market. Sportsbooks will cry that prediction market operators are illegal sportsbooks, but it’s really about not wanting to compete with them.

The prices are the best argument why you shouldn’t fall for the sportsbooks’ whining about competition in the market.

Two Renoir paintings remain missing after thieves broke into a small museum on the French Riviera early Tuesday, escaping as police arrived and abandoning two other stolen artworks in the garden, officials said.

The break-in happened shortly before 6 a.m. at the Renoir Museum in Cagnes-sur-Mer, where two intruders cut through a garden fence before entering the site and taking four paintings, Mayor Bryan Masson said.

An alarm was triggered at 5:48 a.m., and officers reached the museum about five minutes later. As police pursued them, the thieves dropped two of the paintings on the grounds but managed to flee with the remaining two, according to Masson.

“Attacking the Renoir Museum is attacking a part of the history and heritage of Cagnes-sur-Mer,” Masson said, while also urging stronger security measures for museums across France.

Surveillance cameras captured two people entering the museum. Police were still looking for them Tuesday.

The four paintings taken included “Portrait of Madame Colonna Romano,” “Coco Lisant” and “Young Girl at the Well,” according to French newspaper Nice-Matin, which valued the stolen works at about $10.5 million.

A regional police official confirmed the theft and search for the suspects to The Associated Press but could not confirm the reported value. It was also unclear which two paintings the thieves abandoned as they fled.

The museum remained closed Tuesday while police investigated.

The Renoir Museum is housed in the hilltop estate where French Impressionist Pierre-Auguste Renoir spent the final years of his life and died in 1919.

The museum, which opened in 1960, sits in Cagnes-sur-Mer between Nice and Cannes on France’s Mediterranean coast. Its collection includes 13 Renoir paintings, about 40 sculptures, furniture and photographs.

Tuesday’s theft follows a series of museum robberies in France, including last year’s theft of crown jewels from the Louvre in Paris.

Thieves stole jewels valued at about $102 million from the Louvre in October, including a tiara that belonged to Empress Eugénie.

Europol said last month that art robberies in Europe have grown more violent and that some thefts once carried out by specialist gangs are now being committed by opportunists recruited through social media.
