Six people have been charged in federal court with plotting to kidnap Michigan Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer at her vacation home.

Separately, seven more people have been charged with trying to target police and the Michigan Capitol.

US Attorney Matthew Schneider says political disagreements should never escalate to the point of violence.

Whitmer has been praised but also deeply criticized for the state's response to COVID-19.

FBI Assistant Special Agent In Charge Josh Hauxhurst says members and affiliates of a militia group are facing charges in an alleged terrorist plot.
