13 Charged With Plot to Kidnap Governor, Storm State Capitol

Law enforcement officials announced Thursday they had charged 13 suspects with conspiracy to commit kidnapping and terrorism crimes, after an investigation revealed the right-wing plotters had planned to overthrow the state government of Michigan and take Gov. Gretchen Whitmer hostage. In April, amidst ongoing anti-lockdown protests in the state, President Donald Trump declared “Liberate Michigan!” in an all-caps tweet.

In July, they discussed kidnapping Whitmer and taking her to a “secure location” where they would put her on “trial” for treason.
