Former Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis faces law license suspension in multiple states

Jenna Ellis, a lawyer who worked for former President Donald Trump, has been banned from practicing law in Colorado for three years. This happened because she admitted to helping Trump in his efforts to change the 2020 election results. Ellis pleaded guilty to felony charges in Georgia for assisting in spreading false information. She was part of a group of 18 people who were accused of trying to overturn President Joe Biden's victory in Georgia. Ellis had previously been in trouble in Colorado for lying about the 2020 election, claiming it was "stolen" from Trump. These lies were part of a bigger plan by Trump's supporters that eventually led to the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. The legal authorities in Colorado took action against Ellis after her guilty plea in Georgia. They said that Ellis had caused harm by making people doubt the fairness of the election process. They also mentioned that Ellis was considered an accessory to the crime, not the main person responsible. Jenna Ellis, who had been practicing law in Colorado for over ten years, will not be able to work as a lawyer in the state for three years. This decision is part of the consequences faced by people who supported Trump, like Rudy Giuliani and John Eastman, who are also losing their licenses to practice law. The suspension of Ellis' license was approved by the legal authorities in Colorado because of her involvement in the Georgia case. While others, including Eastman, Giuliani, and Trump himself, are still fighting the charges, Ellis admitted her wrongdoing and expressed regret for spreading false information about the election. Ellis wrote a letter to the Colorado Supreme Court admitting her mistakes and apologizing for her role in promoting Trump's false claims about the election. She said that if she had known the truth earlier, she would not have been involved. Ellis hopes that her public apology and acceptance of the consequences will encourage others who still believe the election was "stolen" to reconsider their views.
