HAZEL PARK (WWJ) -- FBI agents raided a Metro Detroit home last week while investigating threats made to court officials in the Whitmer kidnapping conspiracy trial.
The Detroit News reports that last Friday, agents searched a home in Hazel Park. It's not clear where they searched, but it's believe to be tied to death threats.
The FBI has been investigating threats made towards the Chief U.S. District Judge Robert Jonker and defense lawyers Josh Blanchard and Christopher Gibbons, according to sources obtained by the Detroit News.
No arrests were made.
Defense lawyers at the trial have portrayed their clients as big-talking, pot-smoking weekend warriors, susceptible to manipulation by undercover agents and informants.
Prosecutors say the defendants already had the idea of kidnapping Whitmer and other schemes before they came into contact with the FBI.
