US EditionUS Justice Department pardon lawyer pledges 'hard look' at plot to kidnap Michigan governor
- The new pardon attorney at the U.S. Justice Department has committed to thoroughly reviewing the cases of two individuals who are incarcerated for their involvement in a plot to abduct Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
- Barry Croft Jr. And Adam Fox were arrested along with other anti-government extremists in 2020 for plotting to abduct Whitmer, a Democrat, aiming to spark a civil war, which disrupted the 2020 presidential election.
- In 2022, a federal court in Grand Rapids convicted Croft, aged 49, and Fox, aged 42 and a Grand Rapids resident, both portrayed as plot leaders; Croft received nearly 20 years and Fox 16 years in prison at a highly secure Colorado facility.
- Ed Martin Jr., speaking on The Breanna Morello Show, characterized the case as a “fed-napping” scheme implying government misuse of power and emphasized the importance of securing pardons for those involved, drawing a comparison to the 1,500 pardons granted by President Trump related to January 6.
- After leaving office, President Trump questioned the legitimacy of the kidnapping plot, describing it as a 'fake deal,' while the new pardon attorney committed to promptly reviewing the case so the president can be fully informed.
