Jenna Ellis to cooperate

Jenna Ellis, a former attorney for Donald Trump, has agreed to cooperate with prosecutors in the Arizona fake electors case, leading to the dismissal of all nine felony charges against her, including fraud and conspiracy. Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes described her cooperation as a significant advancement in the ongoing prosecution of the remaining 17 defendants, who also face similar charges related to attempts to overturn the 2020 election results. Ellis previously pleaded guilty in a Georgia case and expressed remorse for her actions, stating she would not have represented Trump if she had known the consequences. The charges against her stem from her involvement in promoting false claims of election fraud and her efforts to persuade state lawmakers and then-Vice President Mike Pence to accept fraudulent elector votes. The case remains active for other defendants, including notable figures like Rudy Giuliani and Mark Meadows, who have pleaded not guilty. Prosecutors allege a coordinated effort among these defendants to disrupt the certification of Joe Biden's victory in Arizona.
