Analysis Identifies Natalie Harp as Author of Trump’s 2022 Jan. 6 Memo
MANDEL NGAN / AFP via Getty Images Donald Trump enlisted the help of his adoring aide to write an angry memo crying fraud in the 2020 election, a new analysis found.
Natalie Harp, the president’s 35-year-old “human printer,” is identified as the document author of a 14-page memo that Trump sent to the Jan.
6, 2021 congressional committee after they voted to subpoena him in October 2022.
The metadata of the document indicates that it was created on the morning of Oct.
14, 2022 by Harp.
The data was first reported by independent journalist Marcy Wheeler and independently verified by the Daily Beast.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on this story.
Harp began working for Trump in 2022 after leaving her role as anchor and host at the right-wing news network One America News.
She earned the moniker “human printer” by following Trump around, fulfilling his every request, including fetching merchandise, performing Google searches, printing stories from right-wing websites, and suggesting possible Truth Social posts.
She earns a taxpayer-funded salary of $150,000 a year.
The metadata sheds light on how closely Harp has worked with Trump over the years.
In 2024, Sen.
John Barrasso told Fox News that Harp functioned as “an extra set of eyes and ears for President Trump.” “Every time I have been with him, she has been close at hand,” he said at the time.
The late Senator Lindsey Graham similarly said, if “you want to get something to President Trump, she’s the person to talk to.” Harp herself told Fox News that she provides Trump with a variety of information.
