Ellis, who was indicted on Monday over her alleged involvement in a bid to overturn the 2020 election result in Georgia, is crowdfunding her legal fees.
Jenna Ellis, a former member of Donald Trump’s legal team who was one of 19 indicted on Monday over an alleged plot to overturn Georgia’s 2020 presidential election result, has raised more than $10,000 in an online crowdfunding campaign for her legal fees.
On Monday Trump and 18 of his associates were charged by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis over claims they broke the law while trying to block President Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory in Georgia. Trump has strongly denied any wrongdoing, with his legal team describing the allegations as “flawed and unconstitutional” in a statement.
Ellis has been charged with two counts, one of solicitation of violation of oath by public officer and the other of violating Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, which was introduced to fight organized crime and carries a maximum prison sentence of 20 years.
In response to the allegations against her Ellis tweeted: “The Democrats and the Fulton County DA are criminalizing the practice of law. I am resolved to trust the Lord and I will simply continue to honor, praise, and serve Him. I deeply appreciate all of my friends who have reached out offering encouragement and support.”
Ellis has made no mention of being financially cut off by Trump due to her support for DeSantis.
