Trump's Dominoes Are Falling
Jenna Ellis is the 3rd of Donald Trump's former attorneys to cut a plea deal with Georgia prosecutors to testify against Trump and his co-conspirators for attempting to overturn the 2020 election.
Donald Trump is infamous for throwing his supporters under the bus, so it is not surprising that his former attorneys are rushing to cut plea deals to testify against him. Last week, two of Trump's lawyers, Kenneth Chesebro and Sidney Powell pleaded guilty and agreed to testify against Trump in the Georgia RICO election conspiracy. This week, Jenna Ellis became Trump's 3rd attorney that was a member of his "truly great team" promoting election lies to cut a deal with state prosecutors. As Trump's dominoes start to fall, the only question is who's next.
