TL;DR Summary

Former Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting false statements and writings in Georgia, admitting to her failure to vet claims about voter fraud. Ellis agreed to testify against Trump if called upon. This makes her the third member of Trump's legal team to reach a plea deal in relation to efforts to overturn the 2020 election. The guilty pleas could potentially implicate Trump and other high-profile defendants in a scheme to illegally interfere in the election. All defendants who have pleaded guilty so far have avoided jail time, indicating that prosecutors are seeking cooperation from lower-level defendants.
