State and federal judges from across the political spectrum rejected dozens of post-election lawsuits from Trump-aligned attorneys, many of whom are now facing professional consequences for those attempts.
Ms Ellis – the one-time senior legal adviser to the Trump campaign – signed a legal acknowledgement that she “made a number of public statements about the November 2020 presidential election that were false” and did so with a “reckless state of mind” and “a selfish motive,” according to documents from Colorado’s Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel. Jenna Ellis, a member of what she once described an “ elite strike force” to overturn election results, “repeatedly made misrepresentations on national television and on Twitter, undermining the American public’s confidence in the 2020 presidential election,” according to a six-page ruling on 8 March from a judge in Colorado, where she practises law. Several members of the legal team that advanced Donald Trump’s bogus claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him are facing professional sanctions and ethics violations for their spurious attempts to overturn the results.Īttorneys for the now-former president repeatedly and falsely asserted that the election was fraudulent while pushing lawsuits to subvert the outcome in states that he lost.
