Career
Harrison served as a White House aide during the first presidency of Donald Trump, who Trump said "led multiple U.S. delegations across the globe in countries such as North Korea, Iraq, and Afghanistan, and played a critical role in planning each of the historic summits with DPRK Leader Kim Jong-Un".[2][3] During the January 6 United States Capitol attack, he informed Trump of the killing of Ashli Babbitt.[4] In 2022, he testified before the United States House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack, giving a statement that conflicted with Cassidy Hutchinson's account of Trump's reaction to being unable to go to the Capitol.[5]
On January 5, 2025, Harrison was appointed to the White House staff for Trump's second term.[6]
