Trump-advokat erkänner brott: ”Har en djup ånger”

Jenna Lynn Ellis (born November 1, 1984) is an American conservative lawyer known for her work as a member of Donald Trump's legal team. She is a former deputy district attorney in Weld County, Colorado. Since 2018, Ellis has presented herself as a "constitutional law attorney" during cable news appearances, though The New York Times reported her background did not reflect such expertise and The Wall Street Journal reported she had no history in any federal cases.Ellis was a critic of Donald Trump and his supporters in 2015 and early 2016 until he became the 2016 Republican nominee for president, at which point Ellis began voicing support, including in media appearances. Ellis was hired by Trump in November 2019 as a senior legal adviser. From November 2020 to January 2021, Ellis was a member of what she characterized as an "elite strike force team" that made efforts to overturn Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 presidential election. She made unsubstantiated claims that Trump was the actual winner of the election and drafted two memos falsely asserting vice president Mike Pence could change the results.In March 2023, Ellis was publicly censured by the chief disciplinary judge of the Colorado Supreme Court for recklessly making 10 public misrepresentations, which she admitted to, about the 2020 presidential election, including the claims that Trump won the election and that the election was stolen from him.On August 14, 2023, she and 18 others were indicted by a Fulton County, Georgia grand jury in the prosecution related to the 2020 United States presidential election in Georgia for allegedly participating in a criminal enterprise in furtherance of Trump's efforts to overturn the results of the presidential election.On October 24, 2023 Ellis pled guilty to one count of aiding and abetting false statements in writing.
