Jenna Ellis, a former legal adviser to former President Donald Trump, has been publicly criticized by a Colorado judge for making false statements during the 2020 presidential election. The ruling, signed by presiding disciplinary judge Bryon Large on Wednesday, stated that Ellis had admitted to breaking Colorado's Standards of Professional Conduct, which forbid attorneys from making careless, knowingly, or intentionally false statements.
Misrepresentations Made by Ellis
Ellis acknowledged that she made several misrepresentations after Trump lost the 2020 presidential election to President Joe Biden, including claims that the election was manipulated or stolen from President Trump. Ellis made at least ten misrepresentations on Twitter and to nationally televised audiences as personal counsel to Trump. In one instance, she claimed on Fox News' Mornings with Maria that Trump had "won in a landslide." In another appearance on Fox, Ellis said, "when we subtract all the illegal ballots, you can see that President Trump actually won in a landslide."
Violations of Colorado's Code of Conduct
The court found that Ellis had violated Colorado's code of conduct "with at least a reckless state of mind" by making false statements about the election, which undermined the public's confidence in the presidential election. By doing so, Ellis violated her duty of candour to the public. The public reprimand of Ellis by the court is effective right away.
