According to the newspaper, the conspirators were monitoring Whitmer's country house and discussing her abduction.
The documents cited by the publication clarify that in early 2020, the FBI became aware through social networks that a group of individuals was "discussing the violent overthrow of certain government and law enforcement agencies," which, in their opinion, "violate the US Constitution."
At the same time, a group of people planning the operation gathered in Dublin, Ohio, where they discussed the creation of "a society that would follow the US Bill of Rights."
“They discussed different ways to achieve this goal, from peaceful attempts to violent action.
At one point, several participants spoke of state governments that they believed were in violation of the US Constitution, including the government of Michigan and Governor Gretchen Whitmer, ”the report says.
Earlier, the FBI and the US Secret Service began an investigation into the receipt of a suspicious package, which, according to media reports, was sent to American leader Donald Trump.
According to CNN, law enforcement agencies intercepted a package with ricin poison addressed to Trump.
According to media reports, the suspect in sending the parcel was detained.
