Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes is investigating comments made by Donald Trump that may constitute a death threat against former Rep. Liz Cheney. This follows Trump's remarks at a Glendale event where he suggested Cheney should face "nine barrels shooting at her." Mayes has instructed her criminal division to analyze Trump's statement under Arizona law, which prohibits threats and intimidation. The investigation aims to determine if Trump's comments qualify as a legal threat. Cheney responded by condemning Trump's remarks, stating they reflect dictatorial behavior. Trump's campaign dismissed the investigation as a political maneuver to support Vice President Kamala Harris.
