Natalie Harp, an executive assistant to US President Trump, came under public scrutiny after reports revealed she had not submitted required security clearance documentation for more than a year.
Despite White House requirements to complete background check forms at the state of the tenure, Harp repeatedly missed deadlines until Trump directly chose to intervene.
As an executive assistant, Harp frequently traveled with the president and operated within earshot of sensitive national security discussions. Staff members previously dubbed her the human printer for delivering printouts of favorable news and polling to Trump.
Senior White House officials tried to use subtle measures to limit her constant access, citing risks linked to unvetted personnel handling confidential administrative environments.
Even Harp's brother called his sister's obsession with Trump unhealthy.
