In a recent interview, Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley dodged a question about Donald Trump's claims of "presidential immunity."
ABC's Jonathan Karl asked Haley if she agreed Trump was immune from Jan. 6 prosecutions because he was president at the time he allegedly incited a mob to attack the U.S. Capitol.
"So let me ask you, speaking of Trump, he has claimed absolute immunity in his defense to the election interference case," Karl said. "Is that your view? Do you believe a president has absolute immunity for anything that happens while they're president?"
"I'm gonna let the courts figure that out," Haley replied without saying if she would use a presidential immunity defense.
"I mean, the last thing you're gonna see me do is weigh in or learn the details about any of his court cases because I can't follow 91 charges, and I'm not going to," she opined.
"Forget his case," Karl pressed, "do you think that a president of the United States that, if you get elected president, you would have absolute immunity for anything you did while you were president?"
"Well, I think the court issues are, do you have immunity when you're president?" Haley replied. "When you're not president? At what point does that line fall? I'm going to let judges decide that. I don't know where the line falls."
