Another of former President Donald Trump's co-defendants in his election subversion case in Fulton County, Georgia, has pleaded guilty to criminal charges.
Jenna Ellis reached a deal to plead guilty to lesser charges after facing felony RICO Act charges. The RICO Act charges stemmed from alleged attempts to illegally interfere with the 2020 presidential election. Georgia was one of several states Trump lost that he and his allies contested. In August, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis decided to use a four-decade-old statute to pursue racketeering charges against Trump and 18 others.
Ellis is the fourth of Trump's co-defendants to plead guilty to lesser charges. Last week, Pro-Trump lawyers Kenneth Chesebro and Sidney Powell both pleaded guilty to lesser charges. In both cases, they avoided jail time and will instead get probation. One other defendant in the case, Scott Hall, has pleaded guilty. The remaining defendants, including Trump, have entered not guilty pleas.
