Two Michigan allies of former President Donald Trump, including a former Republican state attorney general candidate, were charged in connection with an effort to illegally access and tamper with voting machines in the state after the 2020 election, prosecutors announced Tuesday.
Attorney Matthew DePerno was charged with undue possession of a voting machine and conspiracy, while Daire Rendon, a former Republican state representative, was charged with conspiracy to commit undue possession of a voting machine and false pretenses, special prosecutor D.J. Hilson announced in a news release. Both were arraigned Tuesday afternoon, according to Richard Lynch, the court administrator for Oakland County's 6th Circuit.
In his statement, Hilson said the charges against DePerno and Rendon were authorized by "an independent citizens grand jury," and that his office did not make any recommendations. Because Nessel ran against DePerno in 2022, her office cited a conflict of interest and requested a special prosecutor. The Prosecuting Attorneys Coordinating Council appointed Hilson to the case.
