Donald Trump says an attack on a former President is a death wish for the attacker.

The former president's campaign team claims he's been briefed on a suspected Iranian assassination plot.

It follows a man being formally charged for an assassination attempt near Trump's Florida golf course and a shooting in July.

Correspondent Mitch McCann told Ryan Bridge that Trump's campaign sees the Iranian threats as real and specific.

He says these are different from other attempts on his life.
