Trump aide Natalie Harp reacts to ‘human printer’ tag amid security clearance concerns

Natalie Harp, a staunch aide to President Donald Trump, has addressed her nickname of "human printer" in letters to the President. This moniker was given to her by colleagues due to her habit of printing pro-Trump news articles for him, who reportedly prefers physical copies over digital formats. Harp, who joined Trump's team in 2024, was previously unknown outside Trump's inner circle.

Recently, she has gained significant attention in Washington, with observers noting her style reminiscent of President Trump's daughter, Ivanka.

During a security operation at Ankara airport, Harp was moved to Trump's plane, while Marco Rubio and other high-ranking officials remained behind as decoys. In a letter to Trump, she expressed her sentiments about her nickname: "I don't have to be human printer. I could take time to enjoy good conversation, and still get all my work done at the end of the day."

There have been concerns about Harp's security clearance, as she has consistently declined to participate in the standard security vetting process over the past year. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt clarified that Harp, like everyone else, holds a security clearance and is a loyal and hardworking member of Trump's team.
