The trial is resuming for four men accused of kidnapping Governor Whitmer.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — The trial of four men charged with planning to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is resuming after a three-day break because of a COVID-19 case.
A judge says there have been “no further complications.”
The trial, which resumes Thursday, was suspended because the virus had struck a key participant, who hasn’t been publicly identified.
Masks are optional for everyone in court. Only one prosecutor and one juror wore a mask last week.
Adam Fox, Barry Croft Jr., Daniel Harris and Brandon Caserta are charged with conspiracy.
Prosecutors say they turned their anger toward government in 2020 into a plot to kidnap Whitmer because of the restrictions she imposed during the early months of the pandemic.
The four men say they were set up by the FBI.
