Jenna Lynn Ellis (born November 1, 1984)[1] is an American conservative lawyer who was a member of Donald Trump's 2020 re-election campaign's legal team. She is a former deputy district attorney in Weld County, Colorado. During the Trump presidency, she presented herself as a "constitutional law attorney" during cable news appearances, though The New York Times reported that her background did not reflect such expertise and The Wall Street Journal reported that she had no history in any federal cases.[2][1]
Ellis was a critic of Donald Trump and his supporters in 2015 and early 2016 until he became the 2016 Republican nominee for president, at which point she began voicing support, including in media appearances.[2][3] She was hired by Trump in November 2019 as a senior legal adviser.[2][4] From November 2020 to January 2021, she was a member of what she characterized as an "elite strike force team" that made efforts to overturn Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 U.S. presidential election.[2] She made unsubstantiated claims that Trump was the actual winner of the election and drafted two memos falsely asserting that vice president Mike Pence could change the results.[5][6][2][7]
In March 2023, Ellis was publicly censured by the chief disciplinary judge of the Colorado Supreme Court for recklessly making 10 public misrepresentations, which she admitted to, about the 2020 presidential election, including the claims that Trump won the election and that the election was stolen from him.[8][9][10] In August 2023, she and 18 others were indicted by a Fulton County grand jury in the Georgia election racketeering prosecution for allegedly participating in a criminal enterprise in furtherance of Trump's efforts to overturn the results of the presidential election.[11][12] In October 2023, Ellis pleaded guilty to one felony count of aiding and abetting false statements in writing.[13] In April 2024, Ellis was indicted by an Arizona grand jury for allegedly participating in attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election in the state.[14]
