Jenna Ellis, one of Donald Trump’s former attorneys admitted in a Colorado disciplinary proceeding that she misrepresented evidence 10 times in their last ditch effort to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
“Respondent made these misrepresentations on Twitter and on various television programs, including Fox Business, MSNBC, Fox News, and Newsmax,” Colorado Judge Bryon Large wrote in a six-page opinion.
According to the order, Ellis admitted to lying about:
- Hillary Clinton not conceding the 2016 election.
- That Trump’s legal team had evidence “that show that this was 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.”
- “The election was stolen from President Trump and we can prove that.”
- Trump’s legal team “will present testimonial and other evidence IN COURT to show how this election was STOLEN!”
- “The election was stolen and Trump won by a landslide.”
- That there was “widespread fraud” in the 2020 election and at least six battleground states “were corrupted, if not more through their voting systems.”
- That there were more than 500,000 illegal votes cast in Arizona.
Large said Ellis violated Colorado state bar rules by engaging in conduct “involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation.”
Ellis was publicly censured and agreed to pay $224 in fees. She is still allowed to practice law.
Though Ellis agreed that her statements violated Colorado’s Rules of Professional Conduct, she released a statement on Thursday calling the case a politically motivated attack from Democrats and ‘never Trumpers.’
“This was politically motivated from the start from Democrats and Never Trumpers. They ultimately failed to destroy me and failed in their attempt to deprive me of my bar license. I’m glad to have this behind me and remain in good standing in the State of Colorado,” she wrote.
