Columbia, S.C. (AP) -- U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley has been reprimanded for violating a law limiting government employees' political activity by voicing support for a South Carolina congressional candidate.

Last week, the U.S. Office of Special Counsel notified Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington it had issued a warning letter to the former South Carolina governor but would pursue no further action. A Haley spokeswoman didn't immediately respond to a text message seeking comment.
