Donald Trump’s aide, Natalie Harp, who once worked as a news anchor for the far-right One America News Network, wrote Trump deeply uncomfortable, adoring letters.
Some of Harp’s admiration of Trump is understandable, considering she claims he saved her life. In 2018, Trump passed the Right to Try Act, which allows terminal patients to access experimental treatment even if the FDA has not approved it. Harp had bone cancer when the Right to Try Act allegedly permitted her to try experimental drugs that helped her fight her cancer. However, her claims have been called into question, with Simon Fraser University’s Professor of Health Science Jeremy Snyder claiming that she had actually been given an FDA-approved drug that she had access to even before Right to Try. Even so, Harp continues insisting that Trump saved her life and has, in turn, become possibly his most devoted follower.
