FBI Fires Lead Agent in Whitmer Kidnapping Case
14th September 2021
The FBI has fired an agent who played a major role in the prosecution of more than a dozen far-right members who made plans to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer over her strict coronavirus mandates, the Daily Mail has reported.
The dismissal of Richard Trask from the FBI comes two months after he was arrested for allegedly beating his wife.
Trask at first became the public face of the investigation into the kidnapping plot, as he testified in court, according to The Epoch Times.
But the FBI later dropped him as a witness after Trask’s social media posts were revealed that called former President Donald Trump a “douchebag” and other expletives.
