Prosecutors rested their case in the trial of four men charged in a plot to kidnap Governor Gretchen Whitmer. In late 2020, state and federal officials revealed that FBI investigators had gone undercover with a group of men in Michigan who had strong anti-government leanings. They said a plot developed in the group to kidnap, and possibly harm, Whitmer. Michigan Radio's Dustin Dwyer caught us up on what’s been happening in the courthouse since the trial began earlier this year—and what to expect as the defense takes over.
