Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has accused US President Donald Trump of inciting “domestic terrorism” following “lock her up” chants at his recent rally in the state.

Ms Whitmer told NBC’s Meet The Press that the rhetoric was “incredibly disturbing” a little more than a week after authorities announced they had thwarted an alleged plot to kidnap the Democratic governor.
