Stephen Miller uses Natalie Harp to get immigration policy information before Trump: Report

WASHINGTON, DC: Stephen Miller, White House Deputy Chief of Staff and a central figure in President Donald Trump’s immigration policy, has reportedly used Trump’s aide Natalie Harp to get political and immigration-related material in front of the president without approaching him directly.

According to sources cited in a Zeteo report, Miller has shown Harp videos and other content that subsequently appeared on Trump’s Truth Social account. The reports have renewed attention on Harp’s unusual access to Trump and her role in determining what information reaches the president.

Source says Stephen Miller used Natalie Harp’s proximity to Trump 'at least a couple' of times 

Harp, 35, has worked closely with Trump since joining his political operation in 2022 and is now a special assistant and executive assistant to the president. Her proximity to Trump has reportedly made her an important point of contact for people seeking to provide him with information.

A source cited in the report said that Miller had used Harp’s position with Trump “at least a couple” of times to get his message to the president without speaking with Trump himself. Another source cited by the outlet described using the same route for a separate request, stating that “I wanted the president to post something about crypto, so I (asked Natalie), and it worked.”

Harp has reportedly earned the nickname “human printer” because she also regularly searches for material online, prints articles, social media posts, and opinion pieces on a portable printer, and gives them directly to Trump. Earlier this month, a source seeking to send Trump a physical message reportedly told Politico that they texted the material to Harp, who replied, “Printed.”

Harp’s role has consequently gained attention because of her close physical access to Trump. White House spokesman Davis Ingle has defended Harp’s role in the administration, describing her as “one of the most loyal and hardest-working aides on President Trump’s team.”

Natalie Harp’s earlier political activity also draws scrutiny

Harp was also reportedly identified as the creator of a 14-page memo that Trump sent to the House committee investigating the January 6 Capitol attack, according to the document's metadata.

The memo, dated October 2022, was apparently created by Harp one day after the committee voted unanimously to subpoena Trump. It repeated Trump’s claim that the 2020 election was “rigged and stolen!” and criticized the committee’s investigation.

“This memo is being written to express our anger, disappointment, and complaint that with all of the hundreds of millions of dollars spent on what many consider to be a Charade and Witch Hunt,” the memo said. 

Harp’s previous social media activity has also resurfaced. According to a report by CNN, a now-deactivated X (formerly Twitter) account associated with Harp contained more than 150 posts on January 6, 2021, including messages such as “fight for Trump!” and “today we stop the steal!”
