TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. — Three more men accused in the plot to kidnap and kill Governor Gretchen Whitmer are about to face a jury.

Eric Molitor and brothers Michael and William Null pleaded not-guilty to charges stemming from arrests in October of 2020.

FOX 17 confirmed the upcoming court dates Friday.

Of the 14 allegedly involved in the scheme 2 have been acquitted, 4 plead guilty— some taking lesser sentences in exchange for testimony, and 5 men have been found guilty.
