Newly released court documents suggest that kidnapping Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer was only one alleged target of a purported plot that involved a violent overthrow of the state government by suspected homegrown terrorists.

The documents, which were filed in Jackson County Court in October, claim that alleged group leader Adam Fox sought to recruit 200 men to storm the Michigan state Capitol building.

Further, according to the documents, the group reportedly planned to televise the execution of politicians taken hostage over the course of "about one week" with no one "coming out alive."

Investigators said that there was also a second alleged plan that involved locking people inside the building and setting it on fire.
