Jenna Ellis Just Flipped On Trump In Tearful Statement—And People Are Not Having It

After ex-Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis pleaded guilty in the Georgia RICO case against Donald Trump with a tearful statement, people online were not exactly sympathetic.

Jenna Ellis—the attorney who served as a primary mouthpiece for former Republican President Donald Trump's Big Lie about the 2020 election—became the fourth of 19 co-defendants to plead guilty as part of a plea deal in the Fulton County Georgia RICO Act case filed by District Attorney Fani Willis.

Ellis appeared Tuesday before Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee. Ellis and her lawyers asked to be able to read a prepared statement before the judge, unlike the previous three co-defendants.

Ellis began by saying:

"As an attorney who is also a Christian, I take my responsibilities as a lawyer very seriously."

The former Trump campaign lawyer stated:

"I endeavored to represent my client to the best of my abilities and relied on others, including lawyers with many more years of experience than I, to provide me with true information, especially because my role involved speaking to the media and state legislators."
"What I did not do, but should have done, was make sure the facts other lawyers alleged to be true were in fact true."
"In the frenetic pace of attempting to raise challenges to the election in several states, including Georgia, I failed to do my due diligence."

But when Ellis appeared on Newsmax on November 20, 2020, she said:

“With all those states [Nevada, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Georgia] combined we know that the election was stolen from President Trump, and we can prove that.”

In court on Tuesday Ellis stated:

"I believe in and value election integrity."
"If I knew then what I know now, I would have declined to represent Donald Trump in these post-election challenges."
"I look back on this whole experience with deep remorse."

News of Ellis' tear-filled court appearance quickly spread online.

The public however was not in a forgiving mood.

 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 

Ellis pleaded guilty to one count of aiding and abetting false statements and writings.

Per the details of her agreement under the Georgia First Offender Act provisions, Ellis must complete three to five years probation, 100 hours of community service, pay $5,000 in restitution to the Georgia secretary of state, and write a letter of apology to the state of Georgia.

Atlanta bail bondsman Scott Hall pleaded guilty September 29 as part of a cooperation deal with prosecutors. Last week MAGA attorneys Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro pleaded guilty the day before their scheduled joint trial was to begin.

Ellis was hired as a legal adviser to the Trump campaign in 2019.

After Trump’s loss to Democrat Joe Biden, Ellis became part of his 2020 election legal team, making numerous press appearances alongside Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell to parrot Trump's Big Lie about a stolen election without any proof to back their claims.

MAGA Influencer Charlie Kirk Called Out After Blaming DEI For High Death Toll In Texas Flooding Disaster

Turning Point USA founder and MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk was harshly criticized after he claimed the death toll in the flash floods that have devastated central Texas "would not have been as high if it wasn't for DEI," ridiculously suggesting that principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion were responsible.

Kirk's comments are reflective of President Donald Trump’s broader push to dismantle federal programs focused on diversity and inclusion—part of what he pledged in his inaugural address would be a campaign to stop attempts to “socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.”
