Washington — Jenna Ellis, who served as a legal adviser to former President Donald Trump during the 2020 election, is barred from practicing law in the state of Colorado for three years, according to an agreement reached with state legal regulators.
Under the deal approved Tuesday by a presiding disciplinary judge of the Colorado Supreme Court, Ellis' suspension of her law license takes effect July 2. The disciplinary proceedings stemmed from Ellis' indictment in Fulton County, Georgia, for her alleged role in a scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in the state. She, Trump and 17 others were initially charged in the sprawling racketeering case brought by Fulton County prosecutors last August.
Ellis pleaded guilty in October to a single felony charge of aiding and abetting false statements and writing in violation of Georgia law and was sentenced to five years probation. The charge was connected to false statements about the election made by then-Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani and another Trump campaign attorney before a Georgia Senate subcommittee in December 2020.
