Republican 2024 hopeful Nikki Haley opted not to wade into the potential ramifications former President Donald Trump's liable verdict in a civil battery and defamation case could have on the Republican party.
On Tuesday, a New York jury determined Trump was liable for both defamation and sexual battery claims made by former gossip columnist E. Jean Carroll. The panel awarded her $5 million in damages, including $2 million for sexual abuse and $1.7 million for reputation repair damages. However, the jury did not find him liable for her allegations of rape.

I am not the judge...There has been a verdict and there's been an appeal." pic.twitter.com/jzs8pFYOBI Haley, the former South Carolina governor who served as Trump's United Nations ambassador from 2017 to 2018, stressed that she was not challenging the jury's decision. She also noted that Trump is appealing it.
