In Georgia, Jenna Ellis, Donald Trump’s former lawyer and a co-defendant in Fulton County’s racketeering case, pleaded guilty to conspiring to overturn Trump’s 2020 election loss. Ellis becomes the third former Trump lawyer to plead guilty and agree to cooperate with prosecutors, following Kenneth Chesebro and Sidney Powell last week. Jenna Ellis addressed an Atlanta court Tuesday.
Jenna Ellis: “In the frenetic pace of attempting to raise challenges to the election in several states, including Georgia, I failed to do my due diligence. I believe in and I value election integrity. If I knew then what I know now, I would have declined to represent Donald Trump.”
Ellis was sentenced to five years of probation, a fine of $5,000 and 100 hours of community service. She will also write a letter of apology to the state of Georgia.
