Nikki Haley Remains Silent on Trump's Conviction

Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley has remained silent on the criminal conviction of former President Donald Trump, despite the vocal reactions from other prominent Republicans. Haley, who is currently on a visit to Israel, has not mentioned the conviction on her social media accounts or responded to requests for comment.

Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley has remained silent on the criminal conviction of former President Donald Trump, breaking with other prominent Republicans who have weighed in on the verdict.

Haley's social media accounts have made no mention of the conviction as of early Friday afternoon, and neither she nor her representatives responded to Fox News Digital's repeated requests for comment.

Haley, who has been on a visit to Israel, has posted on her social media account multiple times since the conviction, describing the horrors of the Oct. 7 attack carried out by Hamas against Israel.

Trump and Haley's strong working relationship deteriorated after Haley entered the 2024 GOP primary field despite previously saying she would not. The former president took issue with her candidacy multiple times during the campaign.

After Trump came out on top of the battle for the GOP nomination, which involved the trading of personal attacks between him and Haley, the former ambassador was initially noncommittal about whether she would support him.

Haley ultimately came out and endorsed Trump this month, stating, "I will be voting for Trump." However, she added, "I stand by what I said in my suspension speech. Trump would be smart to reach out to the millions of people who voted for me and continue to support me and not assume that they're just going to be with him. And I genuinely hope he does that."

Reactions from prominent Republicans started pouring in immediately following Trump's conviction. Many of Trump's other primary opponents have also weighed in on the verdict, with mixed reactions.

The jury found Trump guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records related to the hush money payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels in the lead-up to the 2016 presidential election.

Moments after the verdict was delivered by the jury, the former president spoke to reporters in the hallway outside the courtroom, calling the trial "a disgrace" and "a rigged trial by a conflicted judge."

Trump said, "The real verdict is going to be Nov. 5 by the people."
