ATLANTA (AP) — Attorney and prominent conservative media figure Jenna Ellis has pleaded guilty to a felony charge over efforts to overturn Donald Trump’s 2020 election loss in Georgia. Ellis tearfully told the judge Tuesday she looks back on that time with “deep remorse.” Ellis is the fourth defendant in the case to enter into a plea deal with prosecutors. She was a vocal part of Trump’s reelection campaign and was charged alongside the Republican former president and 17 others with violating the state’s anti-racketeering law. Steve Sadow, Trump’s lead attorney in the Georgia case, used Ellis’ plea to cast doubt on the legitimacy of the racketeering charges Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis brought.
