Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley was repeatedly asked if she would “rule out” being a vice presidential pick during an interview this week‚ a question posed as she has come under criticism from fellow Republican presidential candidates over the issue in recent days. In response‚ she repeated her assertion that she does not “play for second” but did not categorically rule out the possibility as two other Republican candidates have. Haley‚ who is in third place in polling‚ made the remarks about potentially being former President Donald Trump’s running mate‚ should he win the primary‚ during an interview this week with CBN News Chief Political Analyst David Brody. “I know what you’re gonna say‚ ‘I don’t play for a second‚'” Brody said. “I got it. I’ve seen the line. I get it. But Ron DeSantis has ruled it out‚ says‚ ‘No way‚ I’m not gonna do it.’ Are you going to rule it out?” “I don’t play for second‚” Haley responded. “It’s offensive when anybody says that‚ ‘Oh‚ you know‚ she wants to be vice president.’ You don’t do something like this to be vice president. You don’t sacrifice emotionally‚ mentally‚ physically‚ with your family‚ everything to come in for second. That’s not me. I’ve never done second a day in my life. I’m not going to start now.” “I’m doing this because we have a country to save‚” she said. “Everybody knows that our country is in disarray‚ and the world is on fire. And I don’t trust anybody else to fix it. And I’m determined to get that done. And we’re gonna get it done. And the people want us to get that done. You can feel it. And that’s why you’re seeing us move in the polls.” The interviewer asked her again‚ “But you’re not going to rule it out?” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “I mean it’s not even a conversation and it doesn’t matter what candidate wants me to answer it‚” she said. “I don’t play for second. I don’t know what more I can say than to get them to understand that.” WATCH: JUST IN: I Asked Nikki Haley TWICE if she would rule out a VP slot if asked (unlikely FYI). Here's what she said. @NikkiHaley @CBNNews @700club pic.twitter.com/4KqaC4qh8j — David Brody (@DBrodyReports) December 19‚ 2023 Talk about Haley being Trump’s VP pick started earlier this month when the former president’s daughter-in-law‚ Lara Trump‚ suggested that Trump was open to the idea when asked about it on Newsmax. When asked about it by radio host Howie Carr on Friday‚ Trump said while it was “unlikely‚” he did find the idea “interesting” but said he wasn’t “even thinking about that.” He added‚ “I’ve always gotten along with Nikki.” Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo alleged in a book that Haley “plotted” with some who were close to then-President Trump “to try to become Trump’s vice president” and replace then-Vice President Mike Pence‚ CNN reported. Haley denied that the accusation was true. Haley said in April 2021 that she would not run against Trump in 2024‚ but later decided to call Trump first about wanting to run. “I talked to her for a little while‚” said Trump. “I said look‚ you know‚ go by your heart if you want to run.” Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie took aim at Haley on Sunday for saying that she believes that Trump is fit for office and suggested that she might be angling for the vice presidency. “When she hasn’t ruled out being his vice president‚ I don’t think you could take her as a serious contender against him‚” Christie said. “Ron DeSantis and I have both ruled out accepting the vice presidency from Donald Trump. Nikki Haley has not.” Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said last week that he would not under any circumstance accept a vice presidential nomination and suggested that Haley was working to help Trump. “People that are for Trump‚ I’m their next choice. If everyone else got out‚ but me and Trump‚ all these other candidates‚ I would get that support because they’d see that I’m the only one that can beat him. There’s a reason why they spend money against me‚ Haley and Trump spend money against me‚” he said‚ citing data showing that significantly more money has been spent attacking him than all the other candidates. “He has not spent any money against her. And she has not spent any money against him. She will not answer directly‚ and she owes you an answer to this‚ will she accept a vice presidential nomination from Donald Trump? Yes or no?”

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani filed for bankruptcy on Thursday in the Southern District of New York‚ less than one full week after he was ordered to pay $148 million to defamed Georgia poll workers Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman‚ Moss’ mother. According to a Bloomberg News report on the filing‚ Giuliani — who served for some time as attorney to former President Donald Trump — claimed to have just $10 million in assets and up to $500 million in outstanding debt. Giuliani’s bankruptcy attorneys‚ Heath Berger and Gary Fischoff‚ released a statement on Thursday saying that the Chapter 11 protections would give the former mayor the necessary time and breathing room to pursue an appeal in the Georgia case. “The filing should be a surprise to no one. No person could have reasonably believed that Mayor Giuliani would be able to pay such a high punitive amount‚” they said. Last Friday‚ after Judge Beryl A. Howell of the Federal District Court in Washington determined that Giuliani had defamed Moss and Freeman in the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election‚ a Washington‚ D.C.‚ jury ordered the former Trump attorney to pay out nearly $150 million: $16‚171‚000 to Ruby Freeman for defamation. $16‚998‚000 to Shaye Moss for defamation. $20 million to Freeman for emotional distress. $20 million to Moss for emotional distress. $75 million in punitive damages to both plaintiffs. Giuliani called the ruling “absurd” and promised an immediate appeal‚ adding‚ “I don’t regret a damn thing.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP His attorney in the Georgia case‚ Joe Sibley‚ said that if future appeals failed‚ that judgment was enough to ruin his client financially: “the civil equivalent of the death penalty.” Giuliani still faces additional charges in Georgia — for racketeering and conspiracy — and is also being sued for defamation by both Dominion Voting Systems and Smartmatic Corp.‚ both of which he had claimed were part of “rigging” the 2020 presidential election in favor of President Joe Biden.

House Republicans issued a subpoena threat to special counsel Jack Smith on Thursday while demanding information about the federal investigations into former President Donald Trump. Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) sent a letter to Smith with a new series of requests for documents and communications linked to the inquiry they characterized as being against President Joe Biden‘s “chief opponent” in the 2024 election. The letter claimed the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Smith have failed to “sufficiently” respond to prior information demands‚ and an accompanying statement released by the judiciary panel warned‚ “If the Department of Justice continues stonewalling the investigation‚ the Committee may be forced to resort [to the] compulsory process.” Smith is leading two prosecutions against Trump: one is a 2020 election case in which the Supreme Court is now considering whether to take up the question of presidential immunity‚ and the other is a case over the former president’s handling of classified documents. Trump has pleaded not guilty to the charges he faces in these cases and other legal matters that loom over his latest White House bid. He claims that politically motivated prosecutors are conducting a “witch hunt” against him. Jordan and Biggs noted they have fresh concerns following revelations about Smith’s search warrant for records tied to Trump’s account on Twitter‚ now known as X‚ in recent weeks. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “To compound our existing concerns about the actions of our office‚ we recently learned that you had compelled from Twitter voluminous amounts of private information — including core political speech — of millions of Americans‚ without an apparent specialized nexus to criminal activity‚” the lawmakers wrote. “Accordingly‚ the Committee is conducting oversight in order to inform potential legislative reforms‚ including possible reforms regarding politically motivated prosecutions of current and former Presidents by federal prosecutors and disclosure requirements for Special Counsels and their staff‚” they added. Their new set of demands aims to secure documents and communications related to discussions about the case against Trump between DOJ offices‚ salaries and expenses‚ hiring for the special counsel’s team‚ and the Twitter search warrant. A new deadline for this information and past requests was set on January 4. The DOJ told The Daily Wire it received the letter but declined to comment further. Democrats have criticized the GOP’s efforts to gather information from Smith’s endeavors‚ accusing Republicans of trying to interfere with law enforcement activities.

A woman who alleged she had been sex-trafficked by the late Jeffrey Epstein chortled when news broke that the identities of 170 people connected with Epstein will be revealed. Virginia Giuffre‚ who claimed she was forced to have sex with Prince Andrew when she was 17 at Epstein’s home‚ eventually settled a $12 million lawsuit with Prince Andrew. She reacted to Manhattan federal Judge Loretta Preska ordering the release of sealed documents from a defamation suit Giuffre filed in 2015 against Epstein’s madam‚ Ghislaine Maxwell.  “Finally we are hearing members of the US government senators about the need for transparency and a call to arms for accountability!! There’s going to be a lot of nervous ppl over Christmas and New Years‚ 170 to be exact‚ who’s on the naughty list? This wouldn’t be possible without the Honourable Judge Preska‚” Guiffre tweeted‚ adding‚ “Merry early Christmas. Dozens of Jeffrey Epstein associates‚ victims likely to publicly ID’d in court docs in coming weeks — thank you and many blessings for Judge Preska. A truth seeker &; justice maker.” Finally we are hearing members of the US government senators about the need for transparency and a call to arms for accountability!!

A truth seeker &; justice maker 🎄♥️🫶🌟🦋 https://t.co/uncu0I8EHI — Virginia Giuffre (@VRSVirginia) December 20‚ 2023 Preska gave the individuals who will be named two weeks to appeal the decision‚ adding that most of the names had already been made public. “Former President Bill Clinton and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates are just some of the prominent figures anticipated to be featured in the report — after both were photographed with alleged Epstein victims‚” The New York Post reported. In 2019‚ Clinton’s spokesman said‚ “President Clinton knows nothing about the terrible crimes Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to in Florida some years ago‚ or those with which he has been recently charged in New York‚” adding‚ “In 2002 and 2003‚ President Clinton took a total of four trips on Jeffrey Epstein’s airplane: one to Europe‚ one to Asia‚ and two to Africa‚ which included stops in connection with the work of the Clinton Foundation. … He had one meeting with Epstein in his Harlem office in 2002‚ and around the same time made one brief visit to Epstein’s New York apartment with a staff member and his security detail.” When she filed the lawsuit against Andrew‚ Guiffre stated‚ “I am holding Prince Andrew accountable for what he did to me. The powerful and rich are not exempt from being held responsible for their actions. I hope that other victims will see that it is possible not to live in silence and fear‚ but to reclaim one’s life by speaking out and demanding justice.” “I did not come to this decision lightly‚” she added. “As a mother and a wife‚ my family comes first — and I know that this action will subject me to further attacks by Prince Andrew and his surrogates — but I knew if I did not pursue this action‚ I would be letting them and victims everywhere down.”
