Attorney General Kris Mayes announced a cooperation agreement today with Jenna Ellis, a defendant in the fake electors' case. The State has agreed to drop charges against Ellis in exchange for her cooperation with the prosecution.
"This agreement represents a significant step forward in our case," said Attorney General Mayes. "I am grateful to Ms. Ellis for her cooperation with our investigation and prosecution. Her insights are invaluable and will greatly aid the State in proving its case in court. As I stated when the initial charges were announced, I will not allow American democracy to be undermined – it is far too important. Today’s announcement is a win for the rule of law."
Ellis had previously been charged with nine felonies, including fraud, forgery, and conspiracy. The case against the other 17 defendants remains ongoing.
