Another former Donald Trump legal adviser pleaded guilty to a charge in the Georgia election interference case, telling a judge Tuesday she failed to do due diligence and in hindsight would have declined to represent the former president after the election.
Jenna Ellis also agreed to testify truthfully in the wide-ranging state racketeering case that includes the former president, which is centered on the efforts from Trump and his allies to overturn the 2020 election results. She was the third lawyer in the last week who pleaded guilty and agreed to testify in the case, along with Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro.
Ellis, Trump and 17 others were charged earlier this year in a 41-count indictment in Fulton County, Ga., that accused them of operating as a “criminal organization” as they sought to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia.
