Haley on Trump administration post snub: 'I know the game he was playing'

Former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley said Wednesday that President-elect Trump knew she did not want to serve in his second administration when he publicly announced over the weekend that he would not be offering her a job.

“I will not be inviting former Ambassador Nikki Haley, or former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, to join the Trump Administration, which is currently in formation,” Trump wrote Saturday on Truth Social. “I very much enjoyed and appreciated working with them previously, and would like to thank them for their service to our Country. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

Haley brushed off Trump’s snub during her SiriusXM show, “Nikki Haley Live.”

“I had no interest in being in his Cabinet. He knew that,” she said, later adding, “I have made it clear to everyone that I was not interested in the administration.”

Haley said her husband and son “were upset”........
