What happened when the ABC met two of the men charged over a plot to kidnap Michigan's Governor Gretchen Whitmer

They were armed to the teeth and looked mean as hell, but it wasn’t clear if they were the real deal, or just playing dress-ups. Now they're both facing up to 20 years in prison on terrorism- and gang-related charges over an alleged plot to storm the Michigan state capitol building and kidnap Governor Gretchen Whitmer. State and federal officials claim members of the group twice conducted surveillance at Gretchen Whitmer's personal holiday home in northern Michigan, and discussed abducting her and taking her to a secure location to stand "trial" for treason. Brothers didn't seem interested in instigating violence We were told the Michigan Liberty Militia was there to help provide security in case things got out of hand. When some of the militia members started hurling abuse at the protesters, William and Michael Null stood close by, in an apparent attempt to ensure things didn't get physical.
