UN Amb. Nikki Haley 'Trump accusers deserve to be heard'

In a clear split from the White House line, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley says women who accuse anyone of sexual misconduct deserve to be heard, including those who have accused the billionaire New Yorker.

When asked how people should assess President Trump's accusers, Haley told US news network, CBS, that they should be 'heard and they should be dealt with.'

It's a departure from White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckerbee Sanders, who has in the past denied all of the dozen-plus claims against Donald Trump, last week saying that the American people addressed the allegations when they elected him.

Ambassador Haley added that any woman who has felt violated or felt mistreated in any way, has every right to speak up.
