James Renner, 77, is the only one out of the 16 defendants to have his charges dropped after he and the office of Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel (D) agreed to a cooperation deal in October.
“I can’t overemphasize how once I read the information in the J6 transcripts how upset I was that the legitimate process had not been followed,” Renner told the state’s attorney general’s office, according to the Times. “I felt that I had been walked into a situation that I shouldn’t have ever been involved in.”
Renner told investigators he is “very upset,” and that he felt “betrayed is an understatement. That’s all I can say,” according to the Times report.
