Detroit, MI (AP) – Six people plotted to try to kidnap Michigan Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer at her vacation home.
That’s according to a criminal complaint unsealed Thursday. The FBI said in the court filing that four of the six men had planned to meet Wednesday to “make a payment on explosives and exchange tactical gear.” The FBI quoted one of the accused as saying Whitmer “has no check and balances at all.”
The government used informants and undercover agents to thwart the alleged plot. The criminal complaint said the plan involved Whitmer and her second home in norther Michigan.
