The former U.N. ambassador has been focusing in on Trump, his legal trouble and the potential general election consequences.

Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley on Wednesday called on Republican National Committee members to hold an on-the-record vote on a draft resolution that would curb the national party’s ability to direct its funds toward legal fees, including former President Donald Trump’s.

“All Americans, and Republicans especially, deserve a vote on the record on that resolution,” Haley said while campaigning here. “We deserve to know how the RNC is going to spend their money and if it’s going to go towards legal fees.”

    It’s because the Supreme Court made a ruling that affirmed that since corporations are people, and money is speech, it is unconstitutional to restrict how much money a corporation spends on political issues.

    And what is a political issue? Trump says all of his legal issues are politically motivated. He’s lying, but does that (false) statement alone justify unlimited spending on this political issue?
