The Colorado lawyer who helped lead Donald Trump’s bid to overturn the 2020 presidential election admitted she made false claims about the “stolen election.”
Jenna Ellis, who was Trump’s senior legal adviser during the time in question, has now been publicly censured for misconduct by officials from her state’s bar after admitting under oath that she violated multiple professional rules when she misrepresented facts about the 2020 election.
A watchdog found at least 10 examples of misrepresentation, including claims made on various TV appearances. In an interview on Sean Spicer’s show on Newsmax, for example, Ellis referred to contested election results in Nevada, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Georgia.
“With all those states… combined we know that the election was stolen from President Trump and we can prove that,” she said.
In another instance on Fox News, Ellis brazenly claimed that over 500,000 votes in Arizona were cast illegally.
In an agreement with legal authorities, Ellis reportedly accepted that she had “through her conduct, undermined the American public’s confidence in the presidential election, violating her duty of candor to the public.”
Ellis reportedly agreed she had a “selfish motive” in making the misrepresentations and that she engaged in a pattern of misconduct, but a judge decided against disbarring her because she had no prior wrongdoings in the state.
