A Wisconsin man pleaded guilty Wednesday to a reduced charge for his role in a foiled plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, handing another victory to prosecutors who have viewed the scheme as domestic terrorism.
Michigan prosecutors accused Brian Higgins, 54, of aiding the conspiracy by surveilling Whitmer’s vacation home. As part of a plea deal, he admitted in Antrim County court that he attempted to provide material support for terrorism and agreed to cooperate with prosecutors, state Attorney General Dana Nessel said in a statement.
Higgins, who faces up to five years in prison, will testify against four men who will go on trial on related charges later this year.
Michael Naughton, an attorney listed for Higgins, did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
