An agreement with state legal regulators bars former President Donald Trump’s legal adviser Jenna Ellis from practicing law in Colorado.
The agreement comes after Ellis, a Christian attorney who has work with James Dobson Family Institute, Colorado Christian University, and Summit Ministries, pleaded guilty of aiding and abetting the conspiracy to overturn 2020 election results in Georgia. In October, Ellis pleaded guilty to a single charge of aiding and abetting false statements and writing in violation of Georgia law.
Ellis, a native of Colorado, has been an attorney licensed to practice law in the state for over a decade, according to court records. Ellis will be barred from practicing law in Colorado for three years.
The suspension begins on July 2, 2024, the agreement says. Other states that may recognize Ellis’ law license are also likely to refuse to allow her to practice law.
Prior to Ellis’ guilty plea in Georgia, the same attorney discipline judge who suspended her in Colorado approved a public censure of Ellis for 10 misrepresentations made during her tenure as Trump’s senior legal advisor and campaign counsel in November and December 2020.
