Overview

• Former Trump lawyers Sidney Powell, Kenneth Chesebro, and Jenna Ellis have pleaded guilty and agreed to testify against him in the Georgia election interference case.
• Powell, Chesebro, and Ellis made plea deals with Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, which require them to testify truthfully and carry no jail time in exchange for lenient sentences.
• Michael Cohen, another former Trump lawyer, who pleaded guilty to unrelated charges in 2018, has also testified against Trump in New York Attorney General Letitia James’s civil fraud case.
• The pleas of Ellis, Chesebro, and Powell pose a significant risk to Trump as they were considered senior participants in the alleged scheme to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia.
• Upon pleading guilty, Ellis expressed remorse, stating if she knew then what she knows now, she would have declined to represent Trump in the post-election challenges.
