Jenna Ellis to Collaborate in Arizona Elector Investigation

Jenna Ellis, a former attorney for Donald Trump, has reached a cooperation agreement with the Arizona attorney general regarding the state's investigation into the "fake electors" scheme. Ellis is one of 18 individuals charged in April for allegedly attempting to overturn President Biden's victory in Arizona during the 2020 election. Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes announced that Ellis will testify in court, leading to the dismissal of nine felony charges against her, including fraud and conspiracy. Mayes expressed gratitude for Ellis's cooperation, stating that her insights would significantly aid the prosecution's case. The attorney general emphasized that this agreement marks a crucial advancement in the ongoing investigation. Ellis's legal team, however, maintains that she was not involved in the alleged scheme, asserting that the dismissal of charges reflects her innocence. The indictment details that 11 individuals, including prominent figures such as former Arizona Republican Party Chair Kelli Ward and state Senators Jake Hoffman and Anthony Kern, signed fraudulent documents asserting that Trump had won Arizona's electoral votes. Other notable Trump associates, including Mark Meadows and Rudy Giuliani, are also facing charges in connection with the case. As the investigation unfolds, Ellis's cooperation may provide critical information to the prosecution, potentially impacting the outcomes for other defendants involved in the alleged conspiracy to undermine the electoral process in Arizona.
