• Nikki Haley blasted Trump's frequent legal woes after it appeared he was on the verge of another indictment.
  • Trump claimed that he received a formal letter saying he's a target of the January 6 investigation.
  • Special counsel Jack Smith has declined to comment on Trump's claim.

Former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley on Tuesday criticized former President Donald Trump's legal woes for overshadowing the 2024 GOP primary field on the heels of news that special counsel Jack Smith's January 6 investigation is heating up.

"It's gonna keep on going," Haley told Fox News shortly after Trump released a statement claiming he was a "target" of Smith's investigation. "The rest of this primary election in reference to Trump is gonna be about lawsuits, it's gonna be about legal fees, it's gonna be about judges, and it's just going to continue to be a further and further distraction."
