Natalie Harp, a top aide to President Donald Trump whose ubiquity has raised alarms within the White House, was caught going off on video in Washington, D.C.
According to a report by the Daily Mail and video footage that circulated on Wednesday, August 19, a cameraman spotted Harp sitting at an intersection in her white Chevy SUV on her way to the White House.
Upon noticing the camera, Harp pulled out her own smartphone to film the photographer back. As traffic began to move forward, she kept her phone trained on the cameraman, accelerated toward a crosswalk and mouthed the expletive (f--- you) right before speeding away.

Natalie Harp is close with the president.
The aggressive encounter comes amid a massive surge of media scrutiny surrounding Harp's uniquely close working relationship with the elderly president.
Public interest in the 35-year-old aide skyrocketed following a campaign speech by Georgia Sen. Jon Ossoff, who criticized Trump, claiming he would rather "travel with Natalie" than tend to the country's duties.
Harp, widely known as Trump's "human printer" for providing him with hard copies of favorable news articles, has recently been the focus of several explosive political reports.
Preston Harp Speaks Out

Preston Harp has spoken about his sister.
These include revelations that she once climbed into the trunk of a motorcade SUV so she wouldn't be left behind during a 2023 court trip, and that she was among a select few aides chosen to join Trump on a secret military decoy flight out of Turkey.
Harp’s estranged brother, Preston Harp, stated in a televised interview that his sister has an "unhealthy obsession" and "infatuation" with the president.
Speaking with CNN's Erin Burnett on OutFront, Preston offered several key insights into her behavior and childhood.

Natalie Harp Has an Obsession With U.S. Leaders

Natalie Harp used to write letters to prior U.S. leaders.
He explained that Natalie "didn't break out of the delusion" of how their mother raised them.
He noted that their mother instilled a strict view of American exceptionalism and a deep respect for authority, adding, "Trump is like everything that my mom taught us to respect."
Preston also revealed that her intense focus on the White House began long before Donald. She used to write adoring letters to previous U.S. leaders, including President George W. Bush during the Iraq War, meaning her current job represents a childhood "dream come true.”

Karoline Leavitt defended Natalie Harp.
The Secret Service remains alarmed after a bombshell report by MS NOW revealed that Natalie operated without a routine security clearance for over a year.
After growing concerns from security teams, Donald personally intervened. Natalie has recently filled out the necessary paperwork and has since received her formal security clearance.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt defended Natalie, stating to MS NOW that "Natalie Harp has a security clearance like everyone else, and she is a loyal and hardworking member of President Trump's team."
