LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Federal prosecutors are not objecting to a delay in the fall trial of five men accused of planning to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
The government says it wouldn’t be harmed by a postponement.
Prosecutors say they haven't made significant payments for travel by witnesses or lodging.
Trial in federal court in Grand Rapids has been set for Oct. 12.
The defendants would like a 90-day extension for all key dates in the case.
A hearing is scheduled for Friday.
Defense attorneys last week said they were still plowing through hours of conversation secretly recorded by informants and FBI agents.
