On Monday, August 5, Arizona's Attorney General Kris Mayes announced that Jenna Ellis had signed the agreement to cooperate with the fake electors case.

"I am grateful to Ms Ellis for her cooperation with our investigation and prosecution," she said. "Her insights are invaluable and will greatly aid the State in proving its case in court."

What were the charges against Jenna Ellis?

Previously, Jenna Ellis, a prominent Donald Trump campaign attorney, pleaded not guilty to nine felony charges against her in the fake electors indictments that Attorney General Kris Mayes announced in April 2024.

Prosecutors accused Ellis and 17 other allies of Trump of conspiring to overturn the Arizona election results in his favor in 2020.

Ellis who was a former deputy district attorney in Weld County, Colorado was also one of four defendants to take the plea agreement in the Georgia election interference case.

In that case, Trump and 18 others pleaded not guilty in 2023 to charges in a sweeping racketeering indictment for allegedly trying to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia.

Alongside Ellis, Georgia defendants Sidney Powell, Kenneth Chesebro, and Scott Hall also took cooperation deals in the case.
