Trump Lawyer Jenna Ellis Pleads Guilty in Georgia Election Case

ATLANTA—Jenna Ellis, a member Donald Trump’s legal team during his efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss, became the third adviser to the former president to plead guilty in the election-interference case brought by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.

Ellis agreed to cooperate with prosecutors in exchange for a sentence that avoids jail time. Her decision to cooperate could be particularly harmful to Rudy Giuliani, another former lawyer for Trump who crisscrossed the country with Ellis in late 2020 promoting baseless voter fraud theories. Giuliani, Trump and the other 13 co-defendants without plea deals earlier pleaded not guilty to the charges against them, including racketeering.
