Donald Trump's Ex-Lawyer Admits To False Claims About 2020 US Prez Poll, Censured By Judge

ABP News  

New Delhi: A disciplinary judge in Colorado on Wednesday censured Jenna Ellis, the lawyer who played an important role in the attempts made by former US President Donald Trump to overturn the 2020 US Presidential election. Ellis, who is from Colorado, agreed with a disciplinary judge that she repeatedly misrepresented facts on social media and national television, including by claiming the presidential election had been stolen and that Trump “won in a landslide,” according to an opinion this week approving a stipulation between Ellis and the state’s top court. According to the documents posted by Colorado’s Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel, Ellis signed a stipulation stating that various comments she made about the 2020 Presidential election violated professional ethics rules barring reckless, knowing, or intentional misrepresentations by attorneys, as reported by CNN. “The public censure in this matter reinforces that even if engaged in political speech, there is a line attorneys cannot cross, particularly when they are speaking in a representative capacity,” Jessica Yates, attorney regulation counsel for the Colorado Supreme Court, said in a statement, as quoted by CNN.
