Arizona AG drops Jim Lamon fake-elector charges after an email agreement
Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes's office agreed to drop all nine charges against Jim Lamon. Lamon had been one of the Republican elector nominees charged after signing documents that falsely claimed Donald Trump won Arizona. KJZZ reported that Lamon did not enter a plea deal or agree to testify, but he agreed not to object to prosecutors using certain emails. The dismissal changed Lamon's case posture while the broader prosecution remained in litigation.
