Trump makes extraordinary intervention as glamorous blonde aide’s ‘dangerous’ secret is exposed in astonishing security leak

Donald Trump personally ordered his longtime secretary, Natalie Harp, to complete her security clearance after she refused to cooperate with security officials for more than a year.

Harp, 35, repeatedly declined to complete the routine security-clearance process required of West Wing staffers and presidential aides regularly exposed to highly classified information and the nation’s most closely guarded secrets.

Trump finally intervened after White House lawyers and security officials briefed him on their mounting concerns over Harp’s refusal to cooperate, according to MS NOW. 

Her reasoning for not filling out the paperwork remains unclear. In recent months she filled out the form for a federal background investigation and reportedly received the clearance.

The absence of a security clearance was an extraordinary red flag and one of several concerns raised by members of Trump’s inner circle about Harp over the past year.

She has largely unrestricted access to the president as his personal secretary and ‘human printer,’ remaining close by his side as she supplies him with news articles, social media posts and other information throughout the day.

A security clearance is meant to determine whether an individual can be trusted with the nation’s most closely guarded secrets, yet Harp operated at the heart of the West Wing for more than a year without completing that basic vetting. 

Harp is now at the center of a growing controversy after emerging as one of the few aides Trump took aboard a secret plane during an Iranian assassination threat in July, a decision that has since drawn fierce criticism from Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff. 

Intensely personal letters Harp wrote to Trump have also resurfaced, including one in which she described forgetting to eat and sleep before making a startling declaration: ‘You are all that matters to me.’

During his May 2023 golf trip to Scotland, Harp ran behind the President’s golf cart because no other ones were available.

She later wrote him a letter to apologize for embarrassing him while trying to keep up.

‘I also am sorry if I was an embarrassment walking the course in Scotland,’ she wrote in a letter to Trump published by the Daily Mail in February last year.

The correspondence is gaining renewed attention after it was re-published this week by several news publications. 

Harp then goes on to admit that she starved herself and forgot to sleep while working for Trump, saying: ‘I want things to always be right between us. I also know I’ve been distracted all week (forgetting to eat throughout the days, and even forgetting to sleep, and only catching a couple hours at a time).’

Her letter concludes: ‘With all my heart, Natalie.’

Harp’s determination to remain by Trump’s side was also on display in October 2023, when she rode in the trunk of an SUV after being told there was no room for her in the motorcade taking him to a New York court appearance.

After staffers told her there was no room in the vehicle, Harp became livid and began screaming at them, insisting that Trump had personally asked her to accompany him, according to CNN.

Her devotion to Trump has remained consistent throughout the years despite attempts by his inner circle to distance her from the president. 

Harp spent the summer of 2023 sleeping in the women’s locker room at Trump’s Bedminster golf club so she could remain close to him, according to journalist Michael Wolff.

During the campaign, Melania Trump once stumbled upon Harp late at night inside Trump’s private quarters at Mar-a-Lago, an area typically off-limits to anyone outside the family, according to journalist Alex Isenstadt.
