Former President Donald Trump spoke out against former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Republican presidential rival Nikki Haley at a campaign rally in New Hampshire on Friday over claims that evidence from January 6, 2021, was “destroyed and deleted.” Looks like you got it mixed up.
President Trump incorrectly told a Concord audience that a former U.N. ambassador was in charge of the law enforcement response to the Capitol riot during the apparent chaos.
“Nikki Haley, Nikki Haley, Nikki Haley, do they know? Do you know that they destroyed all the information and all the evidence?” Trump said. “Everything. We deleted everything and destroyed it. It's all because of a lot of things. Like Nikki Haley is in charge of security. We gave her 10,000 people, soldiers, National Guard, they We offered them whatever they wanted. They turned it down. They don't want to talk about it. They're very dishonest people.”
The Biden campaign blasted President Trump's gaffes on social media and accused Pelosi of intentionally deleting evidence related to the January 6 riot without disputing Pelosi's claims that she deleted evidence related to the January 6 riot. I corrected the mention.
“A very confused Trump confused Nancy Pelosi and Nikki Haley over and over again. Nikki Haley was in power on January 6th. They don't want to talk about it.” The Biden-Harris headquarters account wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

Trump compared the size of his crowd to that of Haley's campaign event, saying it was “not weird at all.” The Republican front-runner said Haley had “about nine people gathered” and that the media “never reports on the crowd.” (Related: Nikki Haley hints at 'joining forces' with DeSantis to defeat Trump)
The former president also insisted to the audience that Haley is “not tough” enough to be his running mate. Earlier in the day, Haley said he was “not second best” and dismissed the idea of him becoming Trump's vice president.
