As the second trial of two men charged with plotting to kidnap Michigan’s Governor Gretchen Whitmer in 2020 enters week two, prosecutors presented audio and text evidence supporting their case.

Defendant Adam Fox, 38, of Wyoming, Mich., was secretly recorded expressing glee, as he and his acquaintance—now turned FBI informant, Dan Chappel—cased the premises and surrounding area of Democrat Whitmer’s lakeside summer home.
