Michigan fake elector spills the beans

A Michigan Republican who served as a fake elector for former President Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election expressed remorse for partaking in the scheme, per a recording of the elector’s interview with the state attorney general’s office that was obtained by The New York Times.

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel dropped criminal charges against 77-year-old James Renner after he agreed to cooperate. Renner is the only one of 16 fake electors charged to have reached an agreement with Nessel’s office. Thus far, Nessel has only charged the electors but has stated that her investigation is ongoing.
