Jenna Ellis, a former Trump campaign attorney, entered her third guilty plea on Tuesday in the Georgia election subversion case and agreed to cooperate with Fulton County prosecutors.
The former attorney broke into tears in court as she explained how remorseful she was. She told the judge with tears in her eyes that she had “deep remorse” about that time.
Ellis, the fourth defendant in the case to reach a plea agreement with prosecutors, actively participated in Trump’s reelection campaign during the previous presidential election and was accused of breaking the state’s anti-racketeering legislation along with the Republican former president and 17 other defendants.

These plea bargains are a huge step forward for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who filed the case in August and is getting ready to prosecute President Trump, his former lawyer Rudy Giuliani, his chief of staff Mark Meadows, and other prominent members of his inner circle who have all pleaded not guilty.
Ellis reportedly stated in court documents that she “intentionally aided and abetted” Giuliani and another Trump attorney, Ray Smith, in “making… false statements to members of the Georgia Senate.” They made unfounded accusations of widespread voter fraud, including assertions about mail-in ballots and hundreds of allegedly unlawful votes cast by felons, minors, and “dead people.” Smith and Giuliani each entered a not-guilty plea.
