Three men accused of aiding a plot to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer were described as anarchists who wanted to start a civil war, according to a prosecutor. The defendants, Eric Molitor and twin brothers William Null and Michael Null, are charged with providing material support for terrorist acts and illegally possessing firearms. They were among 14 men arrested in 2020, with nine being convicted. The defendants allegedly supported a plan to abduct Governor Whitmer and blow up a bridge. The Null brothers were leaders of a group called the Michigan Liberty Militia, while Molitor was recruited to join a "civilian army."
