Judge slashes bond for man linked to plot to kidnap Whitmer

A judge on Friday slashed bond from $10 million to $100,000 for a man accused of assisting in a scheme to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and commit other violence against state government. A defense attorney argued that Pete Musico was kicked out of the group in the early summer because he was too “soft” and wouldn't commit to violence after participating in armed but legal spring rallies at the Capitol. “He was telling them you cannot accomplish what we're trying to accomplish through violence,” Kareem Johnson said.
