Jury finds 2 men guilty of conspiring to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer

JUST IN: Jury finds 2 men guilty of conspiring to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer

The FBI started tracking the conspiracy in early 2020 through social media platforms.

The men began the plot in part over Whitmer's implementation of restrictions meant to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. In August and September of 2020, members of the group staked out Whitmer's vacation home in Antrim County and discussed kidnapping or killing her. The men trained for the operation at a property near Luther, Michigan, and built a structure that resembled Whitmer’s vacation home in Antrim County, according to Garbin's plea agreement.

After the six men were charged, Whitmer blamed then-President Trump for stoking anger against coronavirus restrictions and encouraging protests in Michigan at the time.
