COLORADO - A lawyer who represented former United States President Donald Trump after his loss in the 2020 election on Wednesday admitted in a sworn statement that she had knowingly misrepresented the facts in several of her public claims that widespread voting fraud led to his defeat.
The group accused her of professional misconduct in her efforts to help Mr Trump promote his claims of voting fraud and undertake “a concerted effort to overturn the legitimate 2020 presidential election results”. An earlier complaint about Ms Ellis had been filed by lawyer Benjamin Woods. Ms Ellis, part of the so-called elite strike force of lawyers that took to the air and travelled across the country in support of Mr Trump’s false claims of fraud, is also embroiled in the Justice Department’s investigation of the former president’s sprawling efforts to reverse his loss to President Joe Biden.
But in her stipulation with bar officials, she agreed that censure was merited when lawyers “knowingly engage” in any “conduct that involves dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation”. As part of her public censure, Ms Ellis agreed that her legal work for Mr Trump “caused actual harm by undermining the American public’s confidence in the presidential election”. Bar officials noted in the statement that “a selfish motive” and “a pattern of misconduct” were aggravating factors in the case.
“We have affidavits from witnesses. We have voter intimidation,” she falsely claimed on Ms Bartiromo’s show.
