Trump could face criminal charges as Arizona prosecutor launches probe into Cheney comment

Donald Trump's comments in Arizona on Thursday drew attention for their violent rhetoric — now they could be drawing legal trouble.

12News in Phoenix reported Friday afternoon that Attorney General Kris Mayes announced an investigation into the comment as it could constitute "a death threat under Arizona's law."

"I have already asked my criminal division chief to start looking at that statement, analyzing it for whether it qualifies," she said while taping an episode of "Sunday Square Off" for the network.
