Jenna Ellis, an attorney and prominent conservative media figure, reached a deal with prosecutors Tuesday and pleaded guilty to reduced charges over efforts to overturn Donald Trump’s 2020 election loss in Georgia.
Ellis, the fourth defendant in the case to enter into a plea deal, was a vocal part of Trump’s reelection campaign in the last presidential cycle and was charged alongside the Republican former president and 17 others with violating the state’s anti-racketeering law.
Ellis, 38, pleaded guilty to a count of aiding and abetting false statements and writings.
She had said that she was innocent and that she trusted the Lord to make things right. Guess that didn't work out for her.
She was probably cooked after she admitted making false statements in the media and those lies were likely repeated in filed documents seeking to overturn the election.
Supposedly the TOFF's defense is going to be that he relied on the advice of the lawyers who told him what he wanted to hear. That may be a harder sell to a jury when those same lawyers are now admitting that they were engaged in criminal activity on his behalf.
All it will take is one MAGAT on the jury. That won't be too heavy a lift.
