Eric Molitor, who was acquitted of an alleged supporting role in a 2020 plot to kidnap Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, is running for Wexford County sheriff.
A man acquitted of having a supporting role in the plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said he's running for county sheriff. Eric Molitor filed papers to run against Wexford County Sheriff Trent Taylor in the Republican primary in August, The Detroit News reported Thursday. He said he's running on a pledge to not enforce a new state law that can take guns away from people who are alleged to be a danger to themselves or others.
It’s going behind someone’s back to take their possessions,' Molitor said. Molitor and two other men were found not guilty of providing support for a terrorist act. They were accused of supporting leaders of the kidnap plot by participating in military-style drills and traveling to see Whitmer’s vacation home in 2020. 'This was a setup by the government,' Molitor said, referring to the many informants and undercover FBI agents used in the investigation.
Anybody can run for sheriff,' Taylor said in response to Molitor's candidacy. 'There are no set qualifications.'
