A man charged in an alleged conspiracy to kidnap Michigan’s governor also made threatening comments online about Donald Trump, Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, an FBI agent said.

Barry Croft, a Delaware resident, is one of six purported members of an extremist paramilitary group accused of scheming to kidnap Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer because of her shutdown orders to control the coronavirus.
