Jackson, Mich. — Three men were found guilty today in charges related to the 2020 plot to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer.
Paul Bellar, Joseph Morrison, and Pete Musico, members of a militia group known as the Wolverine Watchmen, have been found guilty of providing material support for a terrorist act, and were also convicted of gang membership and felony possession of a firearm.
This comes two months after a federal jury found two other men, Adam Fox and Barry Croft, guilty of conspiring to kidnap Whitmer. Fox and Croft face a maximum sentence of life in prison.
Bellar, Morrison, and Musico are set to be sentenced for their crimes on December 15.
