Men sentenced to prison for supporting plot to kidnap Michigan governor

Joe Morrison, Pete Musico and Paul Bellar were members of paramilitary group that trained with leader of conspiracy

A judge on Thursday handed down the longest prison terms so far in the plot to kidnap the Democratic governor of Michigan, sentencing three men who forged an early alliance with a leader of the scheme before the FBI broke it up in 2020.

Joe Morrison, Pete Musico and Paul Bellar were not charged with direct roles in the conspiracy but were members of a paramilitary group that trained with Adam Fox, who separately faces a possible life sentence on 27 December.
