Hello, welcome, everyone. If youre wondering about u. S. President trumps frame of mind after his impeachment acquittal, if there was any question how he would treat those who dared testify against him following that victory lap we saw him take next day, well, now we know. Fresh off that acquittal, mr. Trump set his sights on two of the leading figures we saw testify under oath. And as Kaitlyn Collins reports, it might not stop there.
