  • Nikki Haley is concerned about Trump's effort to reshape the RNC's leadership.
  • "We see him trying to get control of the RNC, so he can continue not to have to pay his own legal fees,” she told CNN.
  • Trump's fundraising committees spent roughly $50 million in 2023 on legal fees, FEC filings show.

GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley on Friday warned that former President Donald Trump was aiming to "get control" of the Republican National Committee, adding that she didn't want to see him use the committee as a "piggy bank" for his court fees.
