Three years after a foiled plot to kidnap Michigan’s governor, the final trial is set to begin

Nearly three years after authorities foiled a bizarre plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, the last defendants accused of taking part go on trial Monday. Eric Molitor and brothers William Null and Michael Null were among 14 men, described by prosecutors as anti-government extremists, charged in the scheme weeks before the November 2020 election. Nine men so far have been convicted in state or federal court, including four who pleaded guilty.
