Calls for Disbarment of Former Trump Attorney Jenna Ellis Intensify
Watchdog Groups, Former Governors and State Attorneys General Urge Colorado Supreme Court to Take Action Following Ellis's Guilty Plea in Georgia
- 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.
