CNN: Natalie Harp Is ‘Uniquely Influential’ in the Trump White House

EXCERPT:

HOLMES: “And what I learned through this reporting today is she‘s really made her role with President Trump indispensable. She is the one who deals with lawmakers and allies and government liaisons. She is texting them messages from President Trump, articles that President Trump wants these lawmakers to see, and vice versa, they are reaching out to her if they want to get in touch with President Trump, if they want him to see something. She‘s known as the human printer, in part because she is constantly printing out information for him so he has it at his fingertips. One of the things that a source told me is that he‘s often used how fast Natalie Harp is. Now, part of that is the fact that she is in proximity to President Trump all of the time. We often see her when we go to these Oval Office events. She‘s standing just on the periphery of the room, smiling, nodding along as President Trump is speaking. And it really goes to her devotion. Now, I did talk to some people who said that she has ruffled feathers throughout her tenure with him, both on the campaign and at the White House, in particular because she insists that her boss, that she only reports to President Trump, but she is actually a White House staffer. And there are a plethora of other White House staffers who actually operate within the chain of command, but she seems to exist kind of in a different plane here, given the role that she has carved out for herself. And she is uniquely influential in this White House, and particularly when it comes to President Trump."
