# Natalie Harp role and security scrutiny > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/natalie-harp-role-and-security-scrutiny > Updated: 2026-08-20T00:07:17.000Z. Sources: 157. Developments: 5. Natalie Harp, an executive assistant to President Donald Trump, remains a central figure in discussions regarding White House security and administration roles. Initial reports highlighted concerns from Secret Service personnel regarding personal notes Harp allegedly left for the President, which author Michael Wolff described as “love letters” that caused panic among security staff. This incident raised questions about Harp’s security clearance and her frequent presence in high-level meetings. Scrutiny has intensified regarding her security status, with reports indicating Harp worked at the White House for over a year without the routine security clearance required for other staff members. While the White House stated she currently holds a clearance, reports suggest the process only began after direct intervention from Trump. Her role has expanded to include managing the President’s Truth Social account and acting as a “human printer” by providing him with printed news. Political controversy erupted following remarks by Senator Jon Ossoff, who suggested the President prefers to “travel with Natalie” on a “flying palace” rather than performing his official duties. Ossoff specifically alleged the President would rather “build his ballroom and travel with Natalie” on a jet gifted by the Emir of Qatar. Trump allies, including Eric Trump and Scott Jennings, dismissed the comments as sexist personal attacks, with Jennings describing Harp as a “defenseless” public servant. Recent developments include the release of full copies of personal letters written by Harp to Trump, which biographer Michael Wolff says describe an “intense level of devotion.” These revelations have coincided with a period of reduced public visibility for First Lady Melania Trump, fueling speculation regarding the dynamics within the Trump household and the influence of Harp’s proximity to the President. ## Claims - Senator Jon Ossoff claimed Trump intends to travel with Harp on a plane gifted by the Emir of Qatar.
