CONCORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE – JANUARY 19: Republican presidential candidate and former President Donald Trump speaks during a campaign rally at the Grappone Convention Center on January 19, 2024 in Concord, New Hampshire. New Hampshire voters will weigh in next week on the Republican nominating race with their first-in-the-nation primary, about one week after Trump’s record-setting win in the Iowa caucuses. Former UN Ambassador and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley is hoping for a strong second-place showing so to continue her campaign into Nevada and South Carolina.

Former President Donald Trump appeared to mistakenly refer to GOP rival Nikki Haley instead of Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., when discussing the Jan. 6 riot at a campaign rally in New Hampshire on Friday night.

The mixup came during Trump's remarks to a crowd of supporters in Concord, N.H., where he spoke for more than 90 minutes and repeatedly bashed Haley, who served in his administration as an ambassador to the United Nations and has never been a member of Congress.

“Nikki Haley, you know they, do you know they destroyed all of the information, all of the evidence, everything, deleted and destroyed all of it. All of it because of lots of things like Nikki Haley is in charge of security. We offered her 10,000 people, soldiers, National Guard, whatever they want. They turned it down. They don’t want to talk about that. These are very dishonest people,” Trump said.

NBC News has reached out to Trump’s campaign for comment on his remarks.
