The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

The White House is facing questions over whether Natalie Harp, Donald Trump’s 35-year-old executive assistant and special assistant, had access to government secrets after she worked for about a year without routine security clearance and reportedly declined to submit the required forms until Trump intervened. Harp, paid $150,000, is a constant Oval Office presence who prints news for Trump and relays messages, including from foreign leaders. Newly published letters from Harp to Trump say, “You are all that matters to me,” and that she is “unworthy” of him.
