Natalie Harp’s intimate letter to President Donald Trump has been revealed in full.
The New York Times obtained a copy of the letter from the 35-year-old executive assistant, who has frequently been pictured at the 80-year-old's side since joining his team in 2022.
Harp's duties ranged from helping draft late-night Truth Social posts to communicating with world leaders through the president's phone.
In the letter, the assistant, who was given the nickname of Trump's "human printer," apologized to the president for her behavior while accompanying him on a golf course in Scotland.
"I also am sorry if I was an embarrassment walking the course in Scotland," she reportedly penned after a video apparently showed her running across the course to keep up with Trump’s cart.
She continued: "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)."
She apparently ended the letter with the sign-off: "With all my heart, Natalie."
The publication had previously reported on other notes Harp allegedly sent Trump, including one in which she allegedly told him: "You are all that matters to me."
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt responded to the outlet's reporting by saying Harp "is one of the most loyal and hardest-working aides on President Trump’s team".
Harp first attracted national attention as a cancer survivor and Trump supporter who spoke at the 2020 Republican National Convention.
She was previously diagnosed with stage 2 bone cancer and has credited Trump’s Right to Try law with giving her access to experimental treatments after chemotherapy failed.
"When I failed the chemotherapies that were on the market, no one wanted me in their clinical trials," she said. "They didn’t give me the right to try experimental treatments, Mr. President. You did, and without you, I’d have died waiting for them to be approved."
Harp has faced scrutiny after MS Now reported that she worked at the White House for a year without routine security clearance.
Per the report, citing two unnamed sources, she initially refused to file the relevant paperwork for unknown reasons.
She later completed the process and was granted clearance after the White House Counsel’s Office raised the issue and Trump became involved.
Norm Eisen, a former White House ethics tsar and co-founder of Democracy Defenders Action, a non-partisan group dedicated to free and fair elections, criticized the reported circumstances.
"It is shocking that an aide who has potential exposure to the nation’s most sensitive secrets reportedly went without a security clearance for so long. Treating access to confidences as a casual job perk is an outrageous way to handle our national security," he said.
Eisen, co-founder of Democracy Defenders Action, a non-partisan group committed to free and fair elections, added: "This is the continued incompetence of an administration willing to set aside our country’s interests, ignore established protocol, and make the White House vulnerable to intelligence risks in order to appease Trump. The American people deserve answers."
Leavitt responded to the MS Now report, stating: "Natalie Harp has a security clearance like everyone else, and she is a loyal and hardworking member of President Trump’s team."
Harp's relationship with the president became the subject of a political attack this week.
During a rally speech on Sunday (August 16), Democratic Georgia Sen. Jon Ossoff slammed Trump over his departure from Turkey amid security threats from Iran, taking aim at Harp in the process.
Ossoff said Trump prefers to "travel with Natalie on their apparently defenseless flying palace," rather than properly carry out his role as president.
White House communications director Steve Cheung quickly fired back on X with a highly personal response.
"Jon Jackoff has to be the biggest cuck loser in politics. Instead of denigrating hard working people serving their country, Jon should look deep into his soul and ask himself why he's a miserable person who hates this country," he said.
