"You are my guardian": Trump aide's letters alarm Secret Service

Private letters penned by Natalie Harp, a former aide to Donald Trump, have reportedly caused alarm within the U.S. Secret Service. Harp, who served as a "special assistant" and was known by the nickname "human printer" in the White House, is now the subject of intense media attention following the publication of these personal letters.

You are my guardian and protector

The letters, allegedly written between Trump's presidency and his return to private life, express Harp's profound admiration for Trump, whom she refers to as her "guardian and protector" and "everything in the world." According to Maggie Haberman, a New York Times journalist who has extensively covered Harp's relationship with Trump, the correspondence has "alarmed" the Secret Service.

Haberman stated that the letters were left for Trump in his private quarters over a four-year period. "The Secret Service became alarmed by some of them. It wasn't, well, it was quite striking," Haberman told CNN. She noted that the situation is different now that Harp is part of the federal government, working within ten feet of the President, whereas previously it was during a campaign.

You are everything in the world to me

Michael Wolff, Trump's biographer, obtained the letters while working on his 2025 book, "Everything or Nothing." Wolff's previous work has drawn accusations of spreading false news from the White House. Parts of the letters were previously published by The New York Times.

The Secret Service became alarmed by some of them. It wasn't, well, it was quite striking.

A White House spokesperson, Davis Ingle, defended Harp, calling her "one of the most loyal and valuable aides on President Trump's team." Despite this, Haberman also mentioned that Harp is "not popular among her colleagues" in the White House. The reports suggest that the Secret Service's concern stems from the intimate and potentially inappropriate nature of the correspondence, particularly in light of Harp's current proximity and access to the President.

She sits ten feet from the President. She is a conduit for information to him. He relies on her. And I don't expect that to change.
