Trump's Violent Threats Over Hush Money Probe

Former President Donald Trump warned of "potential death and destruction" if he is charged in the Manhattan district attorney's investigation into a hush money payment made during his 2016 campaign. Trump has escalated his attacks on the investigation, calling for the district attorney's removal and claiming without evidence that the probe is politically motivated. Trump's call to action has so far received a subdued reception from supporters, with small crowds showing up to protest the DA's actions. The former president faces a separate inquiry by the Justice Department's special counsel into his actions relating to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol by his supporters.
