GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley on Friday warned that former President Donald Trump was aiming to "get control" of the Republican National Committee, adding that she didn't want to see him use the committee as a "piggy bank" for his court fees.
While speaking on CNN, Haley told anchor Kaitlan Collins she was concerned about Trump's push for new leadership at the RNC after a court found the ex-president liable for inflating his net worth and ordered him to pay nearly $355 million.
The interest on the payments alone could add roughly $100 million to that figure. And then there is the additional $83.3 million a court ordered Trump to pay writer E. Jean Carroll in January after a jury found he had damaged her reputation. Another court ordered Trump in a separate 2023 case to pay Carroll $5 million after he was found liable for sexual abuse.
