Snopescannot be independently verified, leaving this claim unrated

Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff delivered a speech on a Sunday criticizing President Trump for depleting munitions and oil reserves while golfing, trading stocks, and traveling with aide Natalie Harp on an aircraft gifted by the emir of Qatar. Ossoff referenced Harp, who has publicly credited the right-to-try law signed by Trump with enabling access to an immunotherapy drug after her rare bone cancer treatments failed. The speech and Harp's medical history have been reported by The Atlantic and Snopes.
