Jenna Ellis has just become the third former Trump attorney to accept a plea deal in Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ RICO case against the ex-president and his 18 co-defendants.

According to Politico’s Kyle Cheney, Ellis will plead guilty to “aiding and abetting false statements/writings.”

CNN legal analyst Norm Eisen responded, saying: “This was a coup in search of a legal theory & 3 of the lawyers who birthed that theory have flipped.”

Last week former Trump attorneys Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro also accepted plea deals in exchange for testifying.
