“The news of Nikola’s Trevor Milton stepping down is bringing (CNH) stock down,” a Milan-based trader told Reuters.

CNH Industrial (NYSE:CNHI) owns 7.1% of Nikola Corp.’s share capital.

Nikola said on Sunday Milton was leaving as the company is battling allegations from a short-seller that it misled investors and automakers. The group rejected the accusations and threatened to take legal action.
