Donald Trump criticized The New York Times for a report claiming his aide, Natalie Harp, sent him affectionate letters. He called the coverage "fake junk" and demanded an apology from the newspaper and its reporter, Maggie Haberman. Harp, a cancer survivor and former television host, has been a trusted aide since joining Trump's staff in 2022. Her letters reportedly raised concerns among some in Trump's camp, but his spokesman defended her dedication and work ethic. The controversy follows the dismissal of two federal cases against Trump, which has led to speculation about his potential actions once he takes office in January.
