Trump questions absence of Haley's deployed husband from campaign trail

Conway, South Carolina — Former president Donald Trump questioned the whereabouts of former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley's husband during a rally Saturday in the Palmetto state. 

"Where's her husband? Oh, he's away," Trump said. "What happened to her husband? Where is he? He's gone." 

Maj. Michael Haley, who is a commissioned officer with the South Carolina National Guard, is on deployment with the 218th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade in the Horn of Africa. Maj. Haley voluntarily deployed last June, according to the Associated Press. This marks his second deployment with the Army in Africa.
