By Ken Silverstein and Josh Boswell Fo , 19 Jan 2024
Nikki Haley, 51, denied claims she cheated on her husband Michael before she became South Carolina governor in 2010 saying she was '100% faithful'
Now, multiple GOP insiders tell DailyMail.com that they were intimately aware of Haley's infidelity at the time, saying: 'It was totally out in the open'
Communications consultant Will Folks, 49, and lobbyist Larry Marchant, 61, both signed affidavits in 2010 alleging they had a sexual relationship with Haley
Presidential candidate Nikki Haley falsely denied cheating on her husband when she was accused of engaging in two extramarital affairs during her gubernatorial campaign, multiple sources who worked with her claim.
New witnesses have come forward telling DailyMail.com that Haley's denials of two alleged 2008 affairs are false, and that the supposed trysts were brazen and widely known among South Carolina politicos.
Will Folks, 49, and Larry Marchant, 61, both signed affidavits in 2010 alleging they had a sexual relationship with the then-South Carolina lawmaker, before she went on to become governor.
While the contents of the affidavits were described by major news outlets at the time, this is the first time they have been published outside of Folks' own document which he published on his blog.
Haley, 51, denied both at the time, saying she was '100% faithful' to the father of her two children and husband of 28 years, Michael Haley – who was deployed in Afghanistan with the National Guard in 2012.
Haley now frequently cites him as a reason for her presidential candidacy.
But multiple GOP insiders told DailyMail.com that they were intimately aware of Haley's infidelity as a South Carolina lawmaker – including tales of steamy liaisons in the back of her Cadillac SUV, 'canoodling' in her lovers' laps at bars, and nights spent together in a Columbia, South Carolina duplex.
Haley has not responded to DailyMail's request for comment as of the time of publication.
The news comes as Haley's campaign gears up for the January 23 New Hampshire primary, a fight to regain second place in the race for Republican presidential nominee after Ron DeSantis secured a two-point margin over her with 21% of the vote in the Iowa caucuses on Monday.
Sources spoke to DailyMail.com about Haley's alleged affairs after noticing her rosy references to her relationship with her husband, a major in the National Guard who is currently deployed in Africa, on her presidential campaign trail.
'I'm doing this for my husband and his military brothers and sisters. They need to know their sacrifice matters,' she said in a speech reported by CBS News in December.
Her most recent campaign ad opens with photographs of Michael's 2013 homecoming from his first deployment to Afghanistan.
Back in 2007, Folks was shaping Haley's political message as her communications consultant while she served as a member of the South Carolina House of Representatives.
In a 2010 affidavit obtained by DailyMail.com, Folks stated that he and Haley 'engaged in an inappropriate physical relationship that included numerous instances of inappropriate sexual contact'.
He said he first kissed Haley in a car in early 2007, and that he had regular trysts with her at his apartment in downtown Columbia. He got married in June 2008.
'Representative Haley and I shared our first kiss while sitting in her parked car outside of MacDougal's restaurant and bar in downtown Columbia, S.C.,' Folks wrote in the October 2010 affidavit.
'This kiss took place in early 2007 following an evening with friends at the nearby Liberty Taproom. After this first kiss, Rep. Haley drove us to the parking lot behind the neighborhood center at Emily Douglas Park where we parked for approximately forty-five minutes.
'There we slid back the seats of her Cadillac SUV so that Rep. Haley could climb on top of me.'
Pearson was referencing the fact that Marchant had only just quit as then-Lieutenant Governor Andre Bauer's campaign against Haley in the gubernatorial Republican primary, after getting paid more than $50,000.
