Attorney Jenna Ellis, one of former President Trump's co-defendants in the Georgia election case, is taking a plea deal -- making her the fourth defendant to do so. Former Trump attorney Jenna Ellis became the fourth defendant to plead guilty in the sprawling racketeering election interference case in Georgia, tearfully admitting Tuesday that she made up details about election fraud and saying she regretted represent ing the former president. She is pleading guilty to one count of aiding and abetting false statements and writings, and will receive probation in exchange for her testimony in the case.
