In another guilty plea in the case conservative declared a “nothingburger,” a Wisconsin man pleaded guilty in a Michigan county court to attempting to provide material support for a terrorist act, a step prosecutors sought to characterize the plot to kidnap, try and execute Democratic Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, NBC News reports.
As part of the plea agreement, 54-year-old Brian Higgins will cooperate with prosecutors in the cases against four other members of the anti-government group who wanted to punish Whitmer for implementing public health guidelines during the coronavirus pandemic. He faces up to five years in prison, which could drop based on his cooperation.
