Cloud of suspicion over Haley resignation as identity of 'Anonymous' mystery intensifies

Is there more to Nikki Haley's resignation than first meets the eye? Putting together her past opposition to Trump, her thinly-disguised ambition to run for the White House one day and the suddenness of the departure announcement, some Republicans think so.
Nikki Haley declared herself “not a fan†of President Trump two weeks before the 2016 election. Author Michael Wolff branded her "as ambitious as Lucifer." A key Trump ally said Tuesday that the timing of her resignation "raised eyebrows" and "seemed odd."
Haley's 2016 criticism of Trump and her differences with him over Russia policy made her a prime suspect when an anonymous “senior official†announced internal opposition to his agenda in the New York Times. Suspicion was thick enough that Haley, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, wrote a Sept. 7 op-ed in the Washington Post denying she authored the vow of resistance.
The Axios report that broke the news of her departure from the Trump administration teased that it might be linked to the New York Times article, which triggered a furious search for the identity of "Anonymous," viewed as a traitor by President Trump.
