Jenna Ellis, Trump's ex-attorney, pleads guilty in Arizona

The chips are still falling in the aftermath of the 2020 election resistance on the part of former President Donald Trump's legal team.

Former Trump campaign lawyer Jenna Ellis reached an agreement with Arizona prosecutors overseeing the prosecution of a "fake electors" scheme, as The Daily Mail reported.

In a statement, Attorney General Kris Mayes announced that nine charges against her have been dropped.

This decision is part of a larger case in which 18 Republicans have been charged with a scheme to divert the state's 11 electoral votes and award them to Donald Trump in the 2020 Election.

The Lawer's Actions

Ellis was a senior attorney for the Trump campaign. She is best known for accompanying Rudy Giuliani, a previous counsel for Trump, as he made allegations of election fraud in a number of states where Trump's possible campaign win was in the balance.

According to an announcement made by the office of the state attorney general on Monday, Ellis will assist Arizona authorities in exchange for the charges against her being dropped in a case involving phony electors.

As she has pledged, her testimony will be "completely and truthfully" and she will supply any required documents and proof.

Ellis' case is one of the most recent in almost four years of prosecution for those aligned with the former president's assertion that the election was stolen from him.

Case History

Ellis has previously entered a plea of not guilty to conspiracy, forgery, and fraud allegations in the Arizona case.

Giuliani, Mark Meadows, the chief of staff of the Trump presidential campaign, and eleven Republicans who submitted a document to Congress fraudulently declaring that Trump had won Arizona have all entered pleas of not guilty to the felony charges.

She is exempt from imprisonment as a result of the cooperation agreement and she entered a plea of guilty in the Georgia election interference case, which also involved an alleged conspiracy involving "fake" electors. Joe Biden was the candidate for both states.

"Her insights are invaluable and will greatly aid the State in proving its case in court," Attorney General Kris Mayes said in a statement.

"As I stated when the initial charges were announced, I will not allow American democracy to be undermined - it is far too important. Today´s announcement is a win for the rule of law."
