Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes has launched an investigation into comments made by Donald Trump that may be considered a death threat under state law.

Trump described Cheney as a "war hawk" and made comments implying she should face gunfire in a war zone. Cheney responded on social media, condemning the rhetoric as dictatorial and dangerous. Under Arizona law, threatening or intimidating someone can lead to misdemeanor or felony charges. Trump attempted to clarify his statements on Truth Social the following day.
