Nov 1, 2024, 07:32 PM

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes has initiated an investigation into whether Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump violated state law by making a potential death threat against former GOP Representative Liz Cheney. The inquiry centers on comments Trump made during a Thursday night event in Glendale, Arizona, where he reportedly suggested, 'Let's put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her.' Mayes is examining whether these remarks constitute a criminal threat under Arizona law, which could result in misdemeanor or felony charges.
