Nancy pelosi and frank colon talked about the updated he rose act passed by the house and ongoing negotiations for the next round of the virus relief legislation. Good afternoon. Earlier today the attorney general was joined by officials from the department of justice and the fbi to announce state and federal charges against 13 members of two militia groups who were preparing to kidnap and possibly kill me. When i put my hand on the bible and i took the oath of office 22 months ago, i knew this job would be hard but i will be honest. I never could have imagined anything like this. I want to start by saying thank you to our law enforcement. Thank you to the fearless fbi agents and to the brave Michigan State Police Troopers that participated in this operation acting under the leadership of joe gasper and attorney general nestle and u. S. Attorneys and their teams for pursuing criminal charges that hopefully will lead to convictions bringing these sick men to justice. As a mother with tw
This year earlier this year, prosecutors say the fbi became aware of a group of individuals discussing the violent overthrow of certain government. As the plot was developing to target michigans governor, the group sought help from a local Militia Group. The plans allegedly involving kidnapping the governor, among other violent activities. And as far as were aware, Law Enforcement officials have not linked this plot or the militia members allegedly tied with it with the antilockdown demonstrations by militia members we saw earlier in the year. Michigans attorney general tells nbc news that more people are going to be charged. Governor whitmer is going to address this case later today. And according to the Court Documents there does not seem to have been an imminent threat posed to her. For more, im joined by nbcs tom winter, our investigations correspondent, Barbara Mcquade and an nbc news legal analyst. So, tom, its interesting what we know and what we dont and, obviously, well wait f
Learning. Tell us what you know. Reporter yes, so in the criminal complaint that was released by the u. S. Attorneys, it is six individuals. What the fbi details is an extensive plot involving several individuals, groups who talked about kidnapping the governor, talked about overthrowing the government and using other people in the plot to conduct this activity. Whats notable in this, the fbi caught onto the group in early 2020 through social media, they were able to infiltrate the group, used several human sources, paid confidential human sources, but then also used undercovers to infiltrate the group. They were able to get ahead of the plot, control it, for the danger the governor faced. The governor may have been aware of the plot. What they detail is training, how the group talked about unhappiness with the governor.

Can a and praying it at the western wall when it helped him politically. 2008, president ial candidate barack obama at the western wall. 2016, u. N. Calls the western wall occupied palestinian territory. Seriously . The post concludes, that post came just after searing remarks from the Prime Minister blasting a long speech today by u. S. Secretary of state john kerry. Now i must express my deep disappointment with the speech today of john kerry. A speech that was almost as unbalanced as the antiisrael resolution passed at the u. N. Last week. Palestinian rejection of israel and support for terror are what the nations of the world should focus on if they truly want to advance peace. And can i only express my regret and say that its a shame that secretary kerry does not see this simple truth. Nations was about preserving the twostate solution. Thats what we were standing up for. Israels future is a jewish and democratic state, living side by side in peace and security with its neighbors.
