Ellis, a Colorado-based lawyer, pleaded guilty Monday to one felony charge of aiding and abetting false statements and writing in Fulton County Superior Court in Georgia. Ellis agreed to serve five years probation, pay $5,000 in restitution, and complete 100 hours of community service. She also had to write an apology letter to the state and testify at all legal proceedings involving the other people who were charged.in the Georgia election interference case against Trump.
“In the wake of the 2020 presidential election, I believed that challenging the results on behalf of president trump should be pursued in a just and legal way,” Ellis said. “What I did not do, but should have done was to make sure that the facts the other lawyers alleged to be true were in fact true. In the frenetic pace in attempting to raise challenges in several states including Georgia I failed to do my due diligence.
The fact is, Ellis stood firmly on Trump’s side, believing him and claiming the election results were fraudulent, happily spreading conspiracy theories to this end, until this exact moment. Then, when she’s about to face real consequences, she passed the buck, blamed others, and showed little actual remorse. She’s as bad as Trump.
