criminal cases. plus, second term warning. and alarming new report about the no holds barred s legal minds trump once and his administration. and maga mike johnson s ties to the christian nationalist movement in this country. i m ayman mohyeldin, let s get started. anytime that you are alone bait looking over your shoulder. that was just one of the threats fbi investigators say an alabama man left on the voice mail of fulton county district attorney fani willis on august 6th. days before she brought charges against donald trump and 18 of his associates for seeking to overturn the 2020 election. and there were many more direct willis and fulton county sheriff patrick labonte both were not going to repeat them here. this week, federal prosecutors announced after right hansen, the second is now facing two counts of transmitting and estate threats to injure willis and labonte. not the timing of this is noteworthy, because one day before hansen left his voice mail on august 5th,
