Michael Morell, former CIA director under Obama, donated to Nikki Haley’s 2024 presidential campaign.
Morell had falsely claimed Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation before the 2020 election.
This was proven false by later investigations but severely damaged coverage.
Now, Haley is backed by Morell and others in the national security establishment despite differences from Trump on issues like immigration, social policy, and spending.
Haley advocates greater foreign military involvement criticized by some as neoconservative.
Her advisers include members of a group trying to revive support for expanded U.S. military engagement overseas.
FEC records show many former intelligence and national security officials support Haley’s bid for an alternative to Trump in the GOP primary, though her positions differ from his on key issues.
