Trump's USA  The President's Team
Trump's Assistant Natalie Harp Lacked Security Clearance

Donald Trump's assistant Natalie Harp, who has been the subject of much discussion in recent days, worked in the White House without a security clearance for more than a year, sources tell MS Now.

According to the information, Harp has been offered security clearance several times but declined it for unclear reasons. Only when Trump personally urged her did she agree to begin the background check.

This is just one of many red flags that have been raised internally about Harp since Trump's return to the White House. In other media sources have warned that the assistant and Trump have an unusually close relationship.

The relationship came under scrutiny when Democratic Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff said in a recent speech that Trump does not want to do his job, but only "build his ballroom and travel around with Natalie".
