Nikki Haley: We "absolutely" need Russia investigation

“I think we absolutely need the investigation,” Haley said during an interview on NBC’s “Today” show.

Haley was further pressed on whether she disagrees with President Trump that the naming of a special counsel to lead the Russia probe divides the country.

“I think that all these questions need to be answered,” she said, “so that the administration can get back to work.”

Last week during a news conference, Trump denounced the naming of a special counsel, calling it an unprecedented “witch hunt” that “hurts the country.”
