Jenna Ellis is the fourth defendant in the case to enter into a plea deal.
Jenna Ellis, a lawyer and prominent conservative media figure, has reached a deal with prosecutors and pleaded guilty to a reduced charge over efforts to overturn Donald Trump’s 2020 election loss in Georgia.
The guilty plea from Ellis comes just days after two other defendants, fellow lawyers Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro, entered guilty pleas. Prosecutors recommend five years of probation for Ellis along with 5,000 dollars in restitution, 100 hours of community service, writing an apology letter to the people of Georgia and testifying truthfully in trials related to this case.
Ellis is also accused of urging state legislators to unlawfully appoint a set of presidential electors loyal to Mr Trump at a hearing in Pennsylvania, and she later appeared with some of those politicians and Mr Trump at a meeting on the topic at the White House. But she has been more critical of Mr Trump since then, saying on conservative radio in September that she would not vote for him again, citing his “malignant, narcissistic tendency to simply say that he’s never done anything wrong”.
