High Stakes As Rancher Cliven Bundy's Trial Over Armed Standoff Begins
Bundy reignited a long simmering "range war" in the West when he led an standoff with federal agents in 2014.
Cliven Bundy is finally set to face a federal jury.
Bundy is the recalcitrant Nevada rancher who has refused to recognize the U.S. government's control of public land, and is accused of leading an armed standoff against federal agents in April 2014. Bundy owed more than a million dollars in unpaid grazing leases and fines. But when the Bureau of Land Management came to round up his cows, it was met by an armed citizen militia and were forced to stand down.
Jury selection began Monday in the high profile case in federal court in Las Vegas.
