Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer says she talked to Trump about kidnapping plot again
(AP) - Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said Tuesday that she talked again to President Donald Trump about his consideration to pardon two men convicted of plotting to kidnap her.
Whitmer says she talked to the president in “the last 24 hours” about the two men convicted of plotting to kidnap her in 2020. Trump mused last week that he would look into pardoning them.
Whitmer, a Democrat and potential 2028 presidential candidate, declined to elaborate except to say she connected with Trump directly and made her “thoughts known.”
“It’s important that in any case that has resulted in a jury convicting people, the impact on the victim is really important,” she said Tuesday at a ribbon cutting event in Detroit. “As a former prosecutor, as the target of this particular plot, I wanted to make sure that the president who’s going to make a decision has all the information necessary toward making the right decision.”
