SHOCKING REVEAL — FORMER TRUMP LAWYER JENNA ELLIS PLEADS GUILTY IN GEORGIA ELECTION INTERFERENCE PROBE, AGREES TO TESTIFY AGAINST CO-DEFENDANTS
In a major development tied to the 2020 U.S. election aftermath, former Trump campaign attorney Jenna Ellis has entered a guilty plea in Fulton County, Georgia, admitting her role in efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. As part of her plea agreement, Ellis has agreed to fully cooperate with prosecutors — including testifying against other defendants if called to do so.
Fourth Defendant to Flip in Georgia Case
Ellis became the fourth co-defendant in the sprawling Georgia election interference prosecution to take a plea deal with prosecutors. The indictment, originally charging 19 individuals including former President Donald Trump, alleged participation in a criminal enterprise aimed at subverting the lawful outcome of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia.

Her plea, entered in Fulton County Superior Court on October 24, 2023, came after other defendants including attorneys Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro also agreed to cooperate with prosecutors.

Admissions and Terms of the Plea
Ellis pleaded guilty to one felony count of aiding and abetting false statements and writings tied to her participation in election challenges following the 2020 vote. Under the agreement:
She avoided more serious charges and a trial.

She was sentenced to five years’ probation, ordered to pay $5,000 in restitution, complete 100 hours of community service, and to deliver a written apology to the people of Georgia.

Most significantly, she agreed to provide continued cooperation, including giving testimony and information to prosecutors about other defendants’ actions.

Ellis’ Own Statement of Remorse
In open court, Ellis expressed remorse for her conduct, acknowledging that she failed to properly verify the election fraud assertions she and others promoted in Georgia. She said she relied on other, more experienced lawyers and later realized the claims were false.
JURIST
“I failed to do my due diligence,” she told the judge, emphasizing that, as a lawyer, she should have ensured the facts alleged were true before repeating them.

Context: A Broader Pattern of Cooperation
Ellis’ cooperation is part of a broader pattern in which several co-defendants in the Georgia case — including legal aides and consultants — have accepted plea deals in exchange for providing evidence against others. Those deals have helped prosecutors build cases through insider testimony.

Ongoing Legal Landscape
While Ellis and some others have taken deals, former President Donald Trump and the remaining co-defendants in the Georgia racketeering indictment have continued to plead not guilty and are contesting the charges in court.

Ellis’ agreement to testify could be consequential if prosecutors pursue trials for major figures in the case — though the timing and impact of such testimony remain uncertain.
