Trump's words about Liz Cheney lead to Arizona legal review

At yesterdays Glendale gathering Donald Trump made eye-catching comments about Liz Cheney‚ suggesting guns should be “trained on her face“ — which quickly turned into a nation-wide discussion

His campaign team jumped to explain the situation: saying media got it wrong and mis-interpreted his words (they claim he meant combat situations not firing squads). Cheney responded by pointing out that such statements are meant to scare those who dont agree with him

The fall-out from this high-profile incident reached Arizonaʼs top legal office — Kris Mayes‚ the state Attorney General started checking if these statements break any rules about threatening public officials according to her teams spokesperson Richie Taylor. The state has specific laws protecting government workers from intimidation: this investigation will look into possible violations
