Rudy Giuliani

Several codefendants in Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis' sprawling racketeering case have received plea deals in exchange for their cooperation with prosecutors' case – but many have not.

The Guardian's Hugo Lowell reports that the lack of a deal for a number of key Trump associates -- most notably attorneys John Eastman and Rudy Giuliani – suggests that Willis is determined to make them stand trial without the possibility of cutting an agreement that will help them avoid jail time.

With multiple plea deals already on the books, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is getting high praise for her pursuit of Donald Trump.

Over the past ten days, Willis has managed to flip lawyers Sidney Powell, Kenneth Chesebro and Jenna Ellis -- each of whom has likely given testimony that will be used against the the former president for attempting to tamper with the 2020 presidential election results.

According to a report from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Willis "is following a well-worn playbook, legal experts say, working her way up the hierarchy by leveraging Georgia’s sprawling anti-racketeering law."

According to former former DeKalb DA Gwen Keyes Fleming, "Her case is getting stronger by the day.”

Emory University Morgan Cloud added, "This is not only a classic organized crime conspiracy formula for success for a prosecution team, this is the classic format for a prosecution of any organization. If this were a white collar investigation of a corporation for alleged wrongdoing, it’s the same mechanism.”

“I would expect to see Fani Willis plead out a lot of the lower people a lot more quickly now that she’s getting some of the higher people,” Minneapolis-based law professor Grell Jeff -- who specializes in RICO cases --explained. “If I were someone like Rudy Giuliani, I would be working night and day to get myself pled out. And if I were representing Trump, I think everybody who pleads out makes his case that much more difficult.”

Ellis, who until recently was a Colorado resident and who is licensed to practice law in the state, was publicly censured in Colorado after a professional misconduct investigation in March, when Ellis admitted that multiple statements she made on Trump’s behalf in late 2020 about the presidential election being stolen were “misrepresentations.”

On Tuesday she pleaded guilty in Fulton County, Georgia, to a felony charge of aiding and abetting false statements and writings. The plea came as part of a deal she struck with local prosecutors who in August named 19 defendants, including Ellis and Trump, in an election interference-related racketeering case.

Attorney Jenna Ellis became the fourth co-defendant to flip on former President Donald Trump in Fulton County, Georgia District Attorney's election interference case when, on Tuesday, October 24, she entered a "guilty" plea in an Atlanta courtroom.

Ellis, who promoted Trump's false claims of a stolen election in 2020, agreed to probation and a fine but will avoid prison. In exchange, she must give Willis' office her total cooperation — much to the chagrin of Trump World.

Donald Trump spoke on Wednesday after reports that former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows made a deal for limited immunity in exchange for testimony in the federal election subversion case against the former president.

Meadows reportedly told special counsel Jack Smith's team that he had repeatedly informed Trump that Joe Biden fairly won the 2020 presidential election.

Former Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis on Tuesday pleaded guilty to charges related to her efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election on behalf of former President Donald Trump.

In an analysis for the Washington Post, Philip Bump pinpoints the fatal flaw that let to Ellis' legal downfall: Namely, she was peddling "complete nonsense."

Former Donald Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis made a plea deal with Fulton County, Georgia, on Tuesday – leading to questions about who is next.

Lawfare's Anna Bower pointed out the agreement includes five years of probation, community service, a public apology and the pledge that she will name names and testify for the prosecution. Among the people already mentioned by her is Rudy Giuliani.

A tearful Jenna Ellis implicated Rudy Giuliani and disavowed Donald Trump as she pleaded guilty in the Georgia election subversion case.

The former Trump campaign lawyer delivered a statement in tears Tuesday at her Fulton County plea hearing, where she expressed regret for her work on behalf of the former president that was aimed at overturning his 2020 election loss, reported CNN.

Jenna Ellis has reached a plea agreement with prosecutors in the conspiracy to overturn Donald Trump's election loss in Georgia.

The former Trump campaign lawyer intends to plead guilty Tuesday to one count of aiding and abetting false statements, according to court documents obtained by WSB-TV.
