Former President Trump has made thinly-veiled threats toward two of his most prominent political opponents in California .

In an interview on Fox News on Sunday , Trump suggested he may call in the U.S. military to handle "radical-left lunatics" such as Rep. Adam Schiff .

Schiff and Rep. Nancy Pelosi say they take Trump 's attacks on them seriously, as proof he should never hold office again.

Schiff helped investigate Trump 's campaign ties to Russia at the start of Trump 's presidency, helped lead Trump 's impeachment for soliciting political favors while withholding military aid from Ukraine , and helped investigate Trump 's incitement of the Jan. 6. 2021 , insurrection at the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters intent on blocking the certification of President Biden 's election — for which Trump was impeached a second time. For that work, Trump has called Schiff a "traitor" who should be ousted from office and severely punished. He also accused Pelosi of treason. This story originally appeared in Los Angeles Times ..
