Jenna Ellis is the third Trump-aligned attorney to plead guilty to crimes stemming from the 2020 election, joining Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro.
Jenna Ellis, a Trump campaign attorney who worked with Rudy Giuliani to press state legislatures to overturn the 2020 election results, pleaded guilty Tuesday to a felony charge that she participated in an effort to make false statements to Georgia lawmakers about election fraud.
Ellis appeared in court in Atlanta Tuesday morning, acknowledging she helped supply false information related to claims by Giuliani that nearly 100,000 mail-in ballots were fraudulently cast, that 2,500 felons illegally voted and that more than 60,000 underage people illegally registered to vote, among other assertions. She agreed to cooperate with prosecutors in future proceedings, serve five years of probation and write a letter of apology.
Ellis is the third Trump-aligned attorney in recent days to plead guilty to crimes stemming from the 2020 election, joining Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro, who each accepted deals to admit to aspects of the charges brought by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. Donald Trump and many of his other allies are charged with a sprawling racketeering conspiracy in the case.
