Secret Service agents have become concerned that one of Donald Trump's aides – known as the "human printer" – could become a “potential danger to herself as well as to the president,” according to a new book.
Natalie Harp, a personal aide who follows the president around with a portable printer so he doesn't strain his eyes looking at screens, has reportedly "unnerved" some in Trump's orbit with her notes of devotion written on the printouts, and The Daily Beast reported that writer Michael Wolff claimed in his forthcoming book All or Nothing: How Trump Recaptured America that her "fixation" was 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.’”
The 34-year-old former One America News anchor credits Trump’s “Right to Try” law with saving her life by giving her access to experimental treatments for bone cancer, but the “aggressiveness of her attention” to Trump alarmed Secret Service agents who consider her "a security consideration," according to Wolff.
Wolff's book describes Trump's relationship with “attractive women who worked for him,” whom Trump refers to as “Charlie’s Angels," as “avuncular and flirtatious," and the author describes one episode where Harp declined to join in sexualized chatter with lawyers Alina Habba and Lindsey Halligan at the NCAA wrestling championship in Oklahoma in 2023.
“Trump’s subject of discourse at the NCAA event was which wrestlers the ‘ladies’ found most attractive,” Wolff wrote. “Everyone seemed happy to play along, critiquing the various bodies, rating them as their type or not. But Natalie couldn’t be moved.”
"Trump reportedly pressed her on the matter, 'trying to make her obvious point even more obvious to everyone listening in with disbelief and embarrassment,' which Wolff claims was that she only had 'eyes' for Trump," The Beast reported.

His team sometimes tries to address what they call "the Natalie situation" by not providing her housing when they travel, such as Trump's return to Bedminster, New Jersey, in the summer of 2023, but Harp reportedly contacted country club staff and secured herself a maid's room, Wolff reported.
"When that proved too far from the main house to respond quickly enough to Trump’s calls, she relocated herself to the much closer women’s locker room, where, with undiminished proximity to Trump, she would spend the summer,” he wrote.
Harp's alleged “obsession with Trump and her lovestruck adulation” has earned his trust, Wolff wrote, to the point where she contacts lawmakers on his behalf and is now the “the keeper of the ‘Truth’ phone,” according to the book, putting her “wholly in charge of the Trump posts” online.
