The list of supporters includes state Sen. Shane Massey, the current Republican leader of South Carolina's Senate, who called Scott “the authentic conservative leader we need in the White House right now.'
Haley — who served as Trump’s ambassador to the United Nations and is now vying against him for the GOP nomination — said on Fox News Channel on Monday that “two things can be be true a the same time.” She echoed many Republicans' arguments that “the DOJ and FBI have lost all credibility with the American people,” but added that “if this indictment is true, if what it says is actually the case, President Trump was incredibly reckless with our national security.
Before the federal allegations against Trump were detailed, Haley decried the situation as a case of “vendetta politics.” Asked on Monday if he would pardon Trump if elected, Scott said he was “not going to get into hypotheticals” but said the notion was “a very important concept." Scott also said Biden was operating on a “double standard” that he said was “both un-American and unacceptable” and pledged to “restore confidence and integrity in the Department of Justice.”
But Scott called the case against Trump “a serious case, with serious allegations,” adding that, “in America, you're still innocent until proven guilty.”said the federal indictment marked “a sad day for our country” and “reaffirms the need for Donald Trump to respect the office and end his campaign.”
