Jenna Ellis, an ex-Trump lawyer, enters a guilty plea in a Georgia election case

Jenna Ellis, a former Trump 2020 campaign lawyer, entered a guilty plea to a single charge on Tuesday in Fulton County, Georgia. Ellis and eighteen other defendants are on trial for their attempts to rig the 2020 election. Ellis is the third defendant to accept a plea deal in a broad criminal case that also names former President Donald Trump among its defendants.

For one count of "aiding and abetting false statements and writings," Ellis entered a guilty plea.

Thanks to the plea deal, Ellis will not face a jury trial.

Along with the other eighteen defendants in Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis' initial indictment, Ellis was further charged with racketeering.
