US Justice Department pardon lawyer pledges 'hard look' at plot to kidnap Michigan governor
- The newly appointed pardon attorney at the Justice Department has committed to thoroughly reviewing the cases of two individuals imprisoned for orchestrating a 2020 plot to abduct Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
- The plot emerged from arrests of Barry Croft Jr., age 49, and Adam Fox, 42, along with others, which disrupted the 2020 presidential election period amid claims the group aimed to start a civil war.
- In 2022, Croft and Fox were found guilty of conspiracy in a federal trial held in Michigan and sentenced to approximately 20 and 16 years respectively; both are currently incarcerated in a maximum-security facility in Colorado, and Whitmer did not suffer any physical injuries.
- Ed Martin Jr. Described the scheme as a 'fed-napping' plot and expressed confidence the new pardon attorney will investigate it thoroughly, while President Trump called the kidnapping claims a 'fake deal.'
- This development suggests potential reconsideration of the men's cases amid ongoing debate over government actions and pardons related to politically charged cases from the 2020 period.
