Gretchen Whitmer: Michigan governor kidnap case ends in mistrial

A US federal jury has acquitted two men accused of plotting to kidnap Michigan's governor and failed to reach a verdict for two other defendants.

Adam Fox, 38, Daniel Harris, 24, Brandon Caserta, 33, and Barry Croft, 46, each faced a kidnapping conspiracy charge.

Mr Harris and Mr Caserta were found not guilty, but the jury was deadlocked on charges against Mr Fox and Mr Croft.

The government had argued they targeted Gretchen Whitmer, 50, in a 2020 plot.
