Feds Say 'Militia' Behind Whitmer's Plot Also Considered Kidnapping DeWine

They also considered attacking Virginia's governor

The militia group accused of plotting to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer also proposed an attack on governors from other states, including Ohio Governor Mike DeWine, a federal prosecutor said Monday. 

A federal court filing details the charges against five men accused in the plot that gained national attention last October. According to the document, two of the accused men, Adam Fox and Barry Croft Jr., attended a meeting with other militia members in June 2020, during which they allegedly proposed "attacking the governors of Michigan, Ohio, and Virginia."

During that meeting, Croft reportedly referred to himself as a "terrorist" and displayed an explosive device he had made as part of the plan.
