Leader of plot to kidnap Michigan governor sentenced to 16 years

Adam Fox was found guilty of conspiring to abduct Gretchen Whitmer and blow a bridge to enable an escape

The leader of a plot to kidnap the Michigan governor, Gretchen Whitmer, was sentenced on Tuesday to 16 years in prison.

The sentence handed down to Adam Fox stemmed from his conviction for conspiring to abduct the Democrat and blow up a bridge so the kidnappers could escape, during a second federal trial in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in August.
