image for Jenna Ellis becomes 4th defendant to take plea deal in Georgia election case, regrets representing Trump

Former Trump attorney Jenna Ellis became the fourth defendant to plead guilty in the sprawling racketeering election interference case in Georgia, tearfully admitting Tuesday that she made up details about election fraud and saying she regretted representing the former president.

She is pleading guilty to one count of aiding and abetting false statements and writings, and will receive probation in exchange for her testimony in the case.

The plea agreement makes her the fourth defendant in the case to take a deal, and the third former Trump attorney to do so in just the last few days.

Young also said Ellis abated the efforts of former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani, with whom she appeared at a December, 2020, hearing in Georgia.

As part of the deal Ellis agrees to continue to provide "additional recorded statements" to prosecutors, as well as continue to provide documents.

Steve Sadow, Trump's lead counsel in the case, pointed to the decision by Fulton County District Attorney Fain Willis to drop the racketeering charge against Ellis.

In addition to Ellis, defendants Kenneth Chesebro, Sidney Powell and Scott Hall have taken plea deals in exchange for agreeing to testify against other defendants. »

Over the past years, Rolling Jubilee and the Debt Collective have bought and canceled millions of dollars in student and carceral debt, freeing tens of thousands of people from crushing debts. »

It is therefore far from certain that Europe alone, even when including the UK and Norway, could withstand high-intensity conventional aggression from Russia.
