Ex-ambassador writes of Trump staff plot

NEW YORK — Former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley alleges in her upcoming memoir that two Trump Administration officials who eventually were pushed out by President Trump once tried to get her to join them in opposing some of his policies.

In With All Due Respect, Ms. Haley said then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and then-White House chief of staff John Kelly told her that they were trying to “save the country.”

Ms. Haley writes that she was “shocked” by the request, made during a closed-door meeting, and thought they were only trying to put their own imprint on his policies.

“Kelly and Tillerson confided in me that when they resisted the President, they weren’t being insubordinate, they were trying to save the country,” Ms. Haley wrote. “It was their decisions, not the President’s, that were in the best interests of America, they said. The President didn’t know what he was doing. ... Tillerson went on to tell me the reason he resisted the President’s decisions was because, if he didn’t, people would die.”
