Trump Considers Pardons for Whitmer Kidnapping Plot Convicts
President Donald Trump is considering pardons for individuals involved in the 2020 plot to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, criticizing the trial as potentially being a 'railroad job' and suggesting some defendants were unfairly convicted. The case involved anti-government extremism and was linked to broader political tensions surrounding the 2020 election.
