A jury has convicted the two men who planned to kidnap Michigan Governor, Gretchen Whitmer, of conspiring to trigger a second revolution

Adam Fox and Barry Croft were found guilty four months after the initial case was declared a mistrial by a federal judge.

The United States government allege the pair were members of the Three Percenters militia group.

They were found guilty of conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction in the form of an explosive device.

The men were aiming to end to the Democratic governor’s Covid mandates, and by putting Whitmer “on trial”, they hoped to push the country into conflict.

Fox and Croft face the possibility of life in prison.
