A group of men have been charged in connection to what the FBI said was a militia plot to overthrow the government of Michigan by kidnapping Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
A federal affidavit made public on Thursday revealed that the FBI had reached out to several members of a militia and discovered the plot to kidnap Whitmer, a Democrat who has outraged some right-wing activists with her strict coronavirus protocols. The FBI found that the militia was trying to grow to be able to carry out the plot.
