Summary
Former President Trump in Texas last week threatened the prosecutors who are daring to investigate him with the biggest protests we have ever seen. It was an unnerving speech that. seemed to bring about the idea of another Jan. 6th. type event and triggered the Fulton County prosecutor, Fani T. Willis, to ask for an F.B.I. risk assessment of the county courthouse in downtown Atlanta citing safety concerns for those involved in the criminal investigation. Is this a sign that Trump is nervous? And how much does he have to worry about from what's to come of the Willis investigation? Greg Bluestein of the Atlanta Journal Constitution joins to discuss.
