Natalie Harp, one of Donald Trump's closest aides, reportedly worked inside the White House for nearly a year without a routine security clearance, raising questions about unauthorised access to sensitive government information.
Harp, who serves as an executive assistant to Trump, initially declined to complete the paperwork required for a federal background investigation. She even received multiple extensions to fill out the form, called SF-86, but she refused to apply for the clearance, although her reasons were not disclosed.
