(Detroit, MI) — The Attorney General of Michigan says law enforcement stopped a plot to overthrow the state government and kidnap Governor Gretchen Whitmer. Dana Nessel said seven extremists involved in a Michigan militia group called the Wolverine Watchmen were charged. Nessel says thanks to the efforts of several state and federal agencies her team uncovered elaborate plans to endanger law enforcement officers, government officials and the public. The court filings in the case alleges the conspirators twice conducted surveillance of Whitmer’s vacation home and discussed kidnapping her to stand trial for treason before the Presidential election.
