Jenna Ellis is pleading guilty to aiding and abetting false statements and writings. 

Jenna Ellis, a one-time lawyer for former President Donald Trump, pleaded guilty to a charge in Georgia on Oct. 24.

Ms. Ellis, 38, who was part of President Trump’s legal team during the 2020 presidential election, pleaded guilty in Fulton County court.

Ms. Ellis said she was aware of the details of the deal and that she could go to trial instead of pleading guilty.

“As an attorney who is also a Christian, I take my responsibilities as a lawyer very seriously, and I endeavor to be a person of sound moral and ethical character in all of my dealings. 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. I endeavored to represent my client to the best of my ability,” Ms. Ellis told the court, adding that she relied on information from other lawyers.

“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,” Ms. Ellis said. In the frenetic pace of attempting to raise challenges to the election in several states, including Georgia, I failed to do my due diligence. 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.”

Ms. Ellis is pleading guilty to aiding and abetting false statements and writings, a felony.

The law in question deals with a person who “knowingly and willfully falsifies, conceals, or covers up by any trick, scheme, or device a material fact; makes a false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or representation; or makes or uses any false writing or document, knowing the same to contain any false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or entry, in any matter within the jurisdiction of any department or agency of state government or of the government of any county, city, or other political subdivision of” Georgia.
