If you’re looking to get caught up on Thursday’s announcement about a foiled plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, here’s what to know.
Five Michigan residents -- Adam Fox, Ty Garbin, Kaleb Franks, Daniel Harris and Brandon Caserta -- and Barry Croft, of Delaware, have been charged with conspiring to kidnap Whitmer. Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel issued charges against seven others.
Overall, 13 men face charges. Nessel said 19 state felony charges were filed against seven people known to be members of the Wolverine Watchmen militia group or associates of the group.
These are 10 of the 13 people who were charged after the FBI uncovered a plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
