County Officials Caught Discussing Lynching, Hiring Hitmen to Kill Reporters

Secret recordings reveal Oklahoma officials fantasizing about violently racist acts and threatening local journalists.
The officials made racist comments about lynching Black people and discussed hiring hitmen to kill reporters covering their alleged misconduct.
Public outrage and investigations have prompted the resignation of one official so far, but calls remain for the others implicated to also step down.
The governor has demanded all officials caught in the recordings resign immediately and condemned their hateful rhetoric.
The recordings have been turned over to the FBI and state investigators, while the officials claim they were obtained illegally.
