Talking to reporters on Wednesday, President Donald Trump said he would “take a look” at pardons for the individuals found guilty of plotting to kidnap Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
In 2022, two men were found guilty of orchestrating a plot to incite anti-government extremists and kidnap Whitmer shortly before the 2020 presidential election.
When asked, “Will you pardon the people who are accused of conspiring to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer?”
The president responded, “I will take a look at it. It’s been brought to my attention. I did watch the trial. It looked to me like somewhat of a railroad job, I will be honest to you. It looked to me like some people said some stupid things. They were drinking and I think they said stupid things, but I’ll take a look at that.”
“At a lot of people are asking me that question, from both sides, actually. A lot of people think they got railroaded.”
