Natalie Harp declined for more than a year to start the SF-86, the background form the rest of the West Wing completes in week one, MS NOW reported Wednesday night. Trump intervened personally. She filed in recent months and got the clearance, over concerns from the White House counsel’s office, security officials and the Secret Service. “Natalie Harp has a security clearance like everyone else,” the press secretary said.
She is 35, raised in California, with a 2015 MBA from Liberty University. Before politics she listed herself on LinkedIn as a self-employed entrepreneur. One story carried her to Trump.
She told the 2020 Republican convention: “No one wanted me in their clinical trials. They didn’t give me the right to try experimental treatments, Mr. President. You did, and without you, I’d have died waiting for them to be approved.”
