Former President Donald Trump appeared to suggest that the U.S. Justice Department might go after former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley at his rally in Rock Hill, South Carolina, on Friday.
However, he didn't bother to elaborate on why he thinks this or what he believes she would be charged with.
"If Nikki Haley was ever in this position, they would go after her, I can give you about five reasons why," said Trump. "But I don't want to get myself in trouble. They'll say he's so mean, he's so mean. There are some reasons. I think everybody in your state knows some beautiful reasons they would go after her the same way they go after me."

"It's what they do," he added.
Trump is currently facing four sets of indictments totaling over 90 counts, including two federal cases, and cases in New York and Georgia, ranging from election conspiracy to Espionage Act violations to bookkeeping fraud to conceal alleged hush payments. The trial in the "hush money" case, which alleges Trump paid off an adult form star in order to deceive the voting public about his misdeeds, is scheduled to start March 25.
Haley, who also previously served as Trump's ambassador to the United Nations, is the only remaining Republican challenging Trump for the 2024 nomination, with the South Carolina primary being held tomorrow. Polling suggests she is likely to lose against the ex-president in her home state.
