22. Here's a brief USA Today piece. For her it's a bigger pivot than it may sound.

Republican presidential hopeful Nikki Haley changed her tune on former President Donald Trump's latest legal troubles after he was slapped with a federal indictment on 37 counts related to his handling of classified documents.

"If this indictment is true, President Trump was incredibly reckless with our national security," Haley said in an interview with Fox News on Tuesday.

That's a more critical tone than the former South Carolina governor took last week when news first broke of Trump's second indictment during the 2024 presidential contest.

During the Tuesday interview, Haley mentioned that her husband, Michael Haley, serves in the U.S. armed forces and will begin a yearlong deployment in Africa this weekend.

"This puts all of our military men and women in danger, if you were going to talk about what our military is capable of or how we would go about invading or doing something with one of our enemies," she said.
