Haley stands by Trump on sexual assault ruling

Nikki Haley, a 2024 GOP presidential candidate, avoided answering whether Trump being found liable of sexual battery would hurt the party with the woman vote, instead saying that both the accuser and accused should have their voices heard. A New York jury found Trump legally liable for the sexual assault and defamation of author E. Jean Carroll, who accused him of raping her in the 1990s. Trump has denied the rape claim and maintains he has never met Carroll. The decision comes as the Republican primary for president has started to heat up, with both Haley and Trump launching their campaigns.
