The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

Newly published letters from Natalie Harp, President Donald Trump’s 35-year-old executive assistant, show her telling Trump, “You are all that matters to me,” calling him her “guardian and protector,” and writing that she wanted “things to always be right between us.” Harp has drawn scrutiny because she is a near-constant presence with Trump and has access to him in the White House and on his personal plane. She is also facing questions after a report that she worked in the White House for more than a year before completing the routine security-clearance process.
