Jenna Ellis Pleads Guilty to Aiding False Statements in Trump's 2020 Election Challenge in Georgia

Ellis is the fourth defendant to enter a plea deal, sentencing includes five years' probation, $5,000 in restitution, community service, and full cooperation with the prosecutors in ongoing trials related to the case.

• Former Trump campaign attorney Jenna Ellis pleaded guilty to a felony count of aiding and abetting false statements and writings related to efforts to overturn Donald Trump's 2020 election loss in Georgia. She expressed 'deep remorse' and said she would not have represented Trump if she had known then what she knows now.
• Ellis, along with Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro, are among the three high-profile figures who have accepted responsibility for their roles and entered into a plea deal with prosecutors, rather than facing trial before a jury.
• As part of her sentence, Ellis was given five years of probation and ordered to pay $5,000 in restitution, complete 100 hours of community service, write an apology letter to the residents of Georgia, and testify truthfully in related trials.
• The guilty pleas and favorable punishments hint at possible similar outcomes for other defendants. However, their usefulness as witnesses against Trump remains uncertain, as their prior engagement in unfounded schemes could cast doubt on their credibility.
• The defendants arraigned on violating Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act included Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, and several other individuals. Their charges pertain to their concerted efforts to unlawfully reverse the outcome of the 2020 election.
