Overview
- Former Trump attorney Jenna Ellis is facing calls for her disbarment after pleading guilty to charges of aiding and abetting false statements and writings in Fulton County, Georgia.
- Two watchdog groups, Stand United Democracy Center and Lawyers Defending American Democracy, along with former governors and state attorneys general, have drafted and signed a letter calling for Ellis to be disbarred.
- The letter is addressed to Colorado Supreme Court Regulation Counsel Jessica Yates, who oversees attorney discipline and regulations for attorneys barred in Colorado.
- Ellis was sentenced to five years of probation, 100 hours of community service, and had to pay $5,000 in restitution and write an apology letter to Georgia citizens after her guilty plea.
- Ellis has expressed remorse for her actions, stating she would have declined to represent Donald Trump in the post-election challenges if she knew then what she knows now.
