One-time Donald Trump challenger Nikki Haley tiptoed through a minefield of questions about former President Trump’s record of sexual misconduct in a teaser clip released Friday of her upcoming appearance on CBS’ Face the Nation.
Interviewer Margaret Brennan pressed Haley on Trump’s Friday press conference, in which he blamed his lawyers for the verdicts in two lawsuits brought against him by the journalist E. Jean Carroll—which found him guilty of sexual abuse and defamation to the tune of some $88 million in damages—and again denied knowing who Carroll even was.
“I think the focus, for me, is on policy,” Haley said. “I’ve always said if I thought Biden or Trump were great candidates I wouldn’t run for president. I ran because I thought I could do a better job,” the former South Carolina Governor and Trump’s (first) ambassador to the United Nations continued.
