Former Trump Campaign Lawyer Jenna Ellis Pleads Guilty in Georgia Election Subversion Case

Former Trump campaign lawyer Jenna Ellis has pleaded guilty to one count of aiding and abetting false statements in the Georgia election subversion case. Ellis, along with other Donald Trump lawyers, peddled election lies to Georgia lawmakers in December 2020. She was sentenced to five years probation and ordered to pay $5,000 in restitution. Ellis delivered a tearful statement to the judge disavowing her participation in Trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 election. This is the third guilty plea in the case, following Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro. The three former Trump insiders have all agreed to testify on behalf of the prosecution at future trials, and these plea deals are seen as a significant step forward for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. The prosecutors originally charged 19 people in the case, and four have now pleaded guilty. Trials are still pending for Trump, Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, and other top figures who have pleaded not guilty.
