Republican presidential candidate on Friday morning. “It’s time to move beyond the endless drama and distractions.”
Reading the unsealed indictment, which became available shortly after her Twitter post, apparently changed the way Haley views the situation.
A DOJ team led by special counsel Jack Smith is accusing Trump of not only storing classified national security documents in unsecured boxes at his personal residence, but of knowingly sharing their contents with people not authorized to hear about them. Specifically, DOJ alleges that there is an audio recording of Trump showing off a U.S. “plan of attack” against another country in the presence of a writer, a publisher and two aides. In another alleged incident, Trump showed a military map to a representative of his political action committee. In both cases, Trump allegedly told the other people that he was not allowed to be showing them the documents.
Trump’s actions “could put at risk the national security of the United States, foreign relations, the safety of the United States military, and human sources and the continued viability of sensitive intelligence collection methods,” the indictment states.
Haley’s remarks on Monday were nonetheless much harsher than some of her rivals in the GOP field, who are wary of angering Republican voters still supportive of the former president.
