DETROIT — The second day of testimony in a key hearing for five people charged with materially aiding the plot to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer focused largely on a two-day field training exercise and a nighttime surveillance trip to Whitmer's summer home in Antrim County.
FBI Special Agent Henrik Impola took the stand for the second day, finishing up his testimony about his involvement in the case and facing cross-examination from two of the five defense attorneys.
Shawn Fix of Belleville, Eric Molitor of Cadillac, Brian Higgins of Wisconsin Dells, Michael Null of Plainwell and his twin brother, William Null of Shelbyville, were charged in 2020 with providing material support for terrorism and felony firearm. During their preliminary hearing, which is set to run all week, a judge will determine if there is enough evidence for the men to stand trial.
