Right-wing attorney Jenna Ellis, known for her work on the Trump 2020 campaign, has pleaded guilty to a criminal charge in the Georgia election interference case. Ellis is the latest co-defendant of former President Donald Trump to strike a deal with prosecutors, following Sidney Powell and two others. These recent plea bargains in Atlanta District Attorney Fani Willis’ racketeering case pose a growing threat to Trump, who is currently facing criminal charges in four separate cases as he gears up for the 2024 presidential race.
Ellis, 38, entered her guilty plea in Fulton County Superior Court, admitting to one count of aiding and abetting false statements and writings. This charge stems from false voter fraud claims made during a hearing before the Georgia Senate in December 2020. In an emotional statement before Judge Scott McAfee, Ellis expressed remorse for her actions, citing her Christian faith and dedication to upholding moral and ethical standards as an attorney. She admitted to failing in her due diligence and relying on information provided by other, more experienced lawyers. Reflecting on the ordeal, Ellis expressed deep regret and stated that if she had known then what she knows now, she would have declined to represent Donald Trump in the post-election challenges.
Initially facing two felony charges in Willis’ indictment, which accuses Trump and 18 co-defendants of conspiring to overturn Biden’s victory in Georgia’s 2020 contest, Ellis has now taken a plea deal, aligning herself with the ongoing legal proceedings against the former president and his allies. This is a developing story, and further updates will be provided.
