Man pleads guilty to assisting in plot to kidnap Michigan governor

Shawn Michael Fix, one of the five men charged with providing material support for the plot to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer in 2020, plans to change his plea from not guilty.
Fix was second-in-command to ringleader Adam Fox in a paramilitary group. Prosecutors say he participated in field training exercises and provided false information about being a Navy SEAL and having access to weapons.
Four men were convicted in federal court for their involvement in the kidnapping plot, and three other men were convicted in a separate but related trial in October.
