A jury has heard closing arguments in Michigan in the fourth trial connected to a plan to kidnap the governor just ahead of the 2020 presidential election. Deliberations will start Thursday. Prosecutor William Rollstin says William Null, brother Michael Null and Eric Molitor hated government and were “willing to go to war.” The three are charged with having a supporting role in the kidnapping plot by participating in military-style drills and traveling to see Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s vacation home. The Null brothers and Molitor deny committing crimes. Informants and undercover FBI agents were inside the group for months. Nine men have been convicted and two acquitted.
