All charges have been dropped against 2020 GOP presidential elector James Renner—but there is a catch. In return, the 75-year-old Lansing man must cooperate with prosecutors.

According to the four-page Agreement for Special Consideration approved by local District Court Judge Kristen Simmons on Oct. 19, Mr. Renner promised to “cooperate fully” with the prosecution “to provide full and complete information” regarding the circumstances of the case against his 15 fellow electors.
