This is Apple News Today.
On today's show, what's going on with all the food recalls, why a boring voting experience is a good one, and the New Yorkers who feel conflicted about the World Series.
But first, a new investigation from NPR looks into threats made by former President Donald Trump against his political rivals.
Since he began Preparing for the 2024.
Campaign, we found that he had made more than 100 threats to investigate, prosecute, jail, arrest, or otherwise punish his political opponents, other people in the media whose news coverage he doesn't like, rivals, Democratic district attorneys, and in some cases, private citizens.
That's Tom Dreisbach with npr.
He reviewed Trump's speeches, interviews, and social media posts to get a better sense of how he intends to use the power of the presidency if he's reelected, to punish his opponents.
Some examples of these threats, he has called for Kamala Harris to be impeached and prosecuted.
He has said he would assign a special prosecutor to investigate Joe Biden and his family and said Republican former Congresswoman Liz Cheney is guilty of treason.
Just yesterday, Trump threatened to go after Jack Smith, the special counsel investigating him.
We got immunity at the Supreme Court.
