Ex-Donald Trump Lawyer Jenna Ellis Admits to Lying in 2020 Election Fraud Claims

Jenna Ellis, who previously worked as a senior legal adviser for former President Donald Trump's 2020 election campaign, faced state disciplinary proceedings in Colorado.

She admitted in court that she made at least 10 false statements about the 2020 election as part of an effort to mislead the public.

Judge Bryon M. Large, who oversaw the former Trump lawyer's disciplinary hearing, made her sign a legal acknowledgment that "she made a number of public statements about the November 2020 presidential election that were false."

She also admitted doing it in a "reckless state of mind" and with "a selfish motive."

According to the Washington Post, Large wrote in his opinion that Ellis "repeatedly made misrepresentations on national television and on Twitter, undermining the American public's confidence in the 2020 presidential election."

Many of her claims were made on Fox News, which is facing a massive $1.6-billion defamation lawsuit against Dominion Voting Systems for lying about the 2020 elections.

While the outlet's hosts, such as Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingram, peddled notions on air that the elections were stolen and Dominion helped President Joe Biden steal the elections, they brutally mocked claims of voter fraud by Trump privately.

Court papers showed that Carlson told Ingram in a text message that he did not believe Trump's claims. His texts also revealed that he could not wait until Trump was out of office and hated the former president "passionately."

Ellis has also made misleading comments on other networks, such as Newsmax, MSNBC, and local talk radio.

Ex-Donald Trump Lawyer Jenna Ellis' Punishment for Lying About the Elections

According to CNN, Jenna Ellis was ordered to pay $224 after admitting that she knowingly misrepresented facts with her comments.

The censure may have saved Ellis from an even tougher punishment, as the Attorney Regulation Counsel's office had previously indicated it was preparing a charge against Ellis.

With the censure, the office said in a statement that it "is not currently pursuing any other charges against Ms. Ellis."

What Did Jenna Ellis Admit to Lying About?

According to Politico, Jenna Ellis is among Donald Trump's attorneys to face disciplinary action.

Previously, Rudy Giuliani had his license temporarily suspended and is now awaiting a final ruling from a bar discipline proceeding in Washington, D.C.

John Eastman is facing disciplinary proceedings in California, while Jeffrey Clark has temporarily delayed bar discipline proceedings against him in Washington.

Among the things Ellis admitted to lying about was falsely claiming in November 2020 that Hillary Clinton did not concede the 2016 election.

She also claimed that the Trump team had evidence of a "coordinated effort in all of these states to transfer votes either from Trump to Biden, to manipulate the ballots, to count them in secret."

On November 30, 2020, she appeared on Fox News and stated that Trump "won in a landslide." She also falsely claimed the Trump team found 500,000 illegal votes had been cast in Arizona in December 2020.

Trump lost not only in the popular vote in the 2020 election but also in the electoral college.
