Secret Service agents have reportedly grown uneasy about one of Donald Trump’s closest aides, Natalie Harp, whom they view as a “potential danger to herself as well as to the president,” according to a forthcoming book by journalist Michael Wolff.

Harp, often referred to as the “human printer,” follows Trump with a portable printer to prevent him from straining his eyes on screens. However, her devotion to Trump—demonstrated by notes of admiration she includes with the printouts—has “unnerved” those in Trump’s inner circle, according to The Daily Beast.

Wolff’s book, All or Nothing: How Trump Recaptured America, describes Harp’s “fixation” on Trump as an “open secret.” “The Secret Service, with her letters in their possession, was now noting the strangeness of her behavior,” Wolff writes. “’Nonsense,’ declared Trump. ‘She just loves her president.’”

A former anchor for One America News, Harp credits Trump’s “Right to Try” law with saving her life by granting access to experimental treatments for bone cancer. However, Secret Service agents reportedly consider her “a security consideration” due to the “aggressiveness of her attention,” Wolff claims.

Trump’s dynamic with “attractive women who worked for him,” whom he allegedly calls “Charlie’s Angels,” is described in the book as both “avuncular and flirtatious.” At one point, Wolff recounts an episode at the NCAA wrestling championship in Oklahoma in 2023, where Harp declined to engage in a conversation about attractive wrestlers with lawyers Alina Habba and Lindsey Halligan.

“Trump’s subject of discourse at the NCAA event was which wrestlers the ‘ladies’ found most attractive,” Wolff writes. “Everyone seemed happy to play along, critiquing the various bodies, rating them as their type or not. But Natalie couldn’t be moved.”

Trump allegedly pressed her, attempting to make her stance obvious to those around them, suggesting she had “eyes” only for him, The Daily Beast reported.

To manage what some refer to as “the Natalie situation,” Trump’s team has occasionally tried to withhold housing accommodations during travel, such as his summer 2023 return to Bedminster, New Jersey. Yet, Harp reportedly secured a maid’s room at Trump’s country club and later relocated to the women’s locker room to stay closer to him, Wolff writes.

Her unwavering devotion has earned Trump’s trust, according to the book, allowing her to contact lawmakers on his behalf. She has also been given control over the “Truth” phone, making her “wholly in charge of the Trump posts” online.
