Former Trump campaign lawyer Jenna Ellis pleaded guilty Tuesday in the Georgia election subversion case and will cooperate with Fulton County prosecutors – the third guilty plea in the past week.

At an unscheduled hearing in Atlanta, Ellis pleaded guilty to one count of aiding and abetting false statements, a felony stemming from the election lies that Ellis and other Donald Trump lawyers peddled to Georgia lawmakers in December 2020.

She was sentenced to five years of probation and ordered to pay $5,000 in restitution.

Ellis delivered a tearful statement to the judge Tuesday while pleading guilty, disavowing her participation in Trump’s unprecedented attempts to overturn the 2020 election.

    Just fyi, every US state has a Bar Association website. When Alex Murdaugh and his attorney partner in crime got convicted, out of curiosity I looked up their licenses on the SC Bar Association website (turns out they let them lapse in anticipation of being convicted instead of letting the bar pull their licenses for them).

    I don’t know in what states Powell and Chesebro are admitted to the bar, but the state(s) and the full name is usually all you need to find what you want on a given attorney. Law licenses and associated orders (like disbarment) are usually all linked right there for anyone who wants to look.
