Both Hayley and her husband, William \u201cBeau\u201d Harrison, were White House staffers during the Trump administration and accompanied the former president and first lady to Mar-a-Lago for their post-presidency life. The Harrisons were notably aboard Marine One with the Trumps as they departed the White House on January 20, 2021.<\/p>\n
The couple has remained closely tied to the Trumps\u2019 inner circle and continues to be on the payroll. According to Federal Election Commission reports, both Hayley and William were paid by Trump\u2019s Save America PAC for their work with the former president. Hayley earned a monthly salary of $8,000 to $10,000, while William received a similar amount until November 2023, when he received his final payment from the PAC, DailyMail.com noted.<\/p>\n
In the announcement of Harrison\u2019s appointment, her longstanding loyalty was emphasized. Donald Trump, meanwhile, has maintained a similar pattern of staffing his team with loyalists ahead of his second term.<\/p>\n

\u201cMrs. Harrison has maintained an integral role and exceptional leadership on the First Lady\u2019s team over the past seven years. She has a strong understanding of White House operations, and as Chief of Staff, Mrs. Harrison will oversee and manage the East Wing\u2019s team while strategically liaising with other parts of government,\u201d the statement continued.<\/p>\n
Harrison, then known by her maiden name D\u2019Antuono, served as Director of Operations in the East Wing during Donald Trump\u2019s first term. She later married William \u201cBeau\u201d Harrison, a low-level West Wing staffer.<\/p>\n
Following their time in Washington, the Harrisons relocated to Florida to work at Mar-a-Lago, where Hayley continued to assist Melania Trump and William worked for Donald Trump.
