The roots of the plan to kill Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer were much deeper than just one governor according to federal authorities.
CHICAGO -- The roots of the plan to kill Michigan's governor were much deeper than just one governor, according to federal authorities.
The accused militia leader is allegedly heard on tape:"They're going to die. Period." But new information indicates Whitmer, her security and aides were not the only original targetsIn the early planning and training stages for the attack, federal agents say radical militiamen were not set on a specific target.
But as the alleged plot progressed, the core group of more than a dozen militia operatives zeroed in on Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, according to U.S. authorities. They allegedly put her summer home in northern Michigan under surveillance; had a plan to blow up the bridge near her family's home.Investigators now say a sniper team armed with high powered rifles and infrared scopes would be positioned to take down the governor's security detail before kidnapping her.
