The lawyer who leaked the video evidence of Trump RICO election interference case co-defendant Jenna Ellis has been let go by his client.
Misty Hampton, who is one of the 19 charged in a conspiracy to reverse the election results in Georgia to favor Trump, did away with her attorney, Jonathan Miller III, according to The Guardian's Hugo Lowell, citing a source.
"Hampton decided she wanted someone else as her lawyer in the Fulton County case," according to his tweet.

The co-defendant was present when a forensic data team hired by Trump allies copied sensitive voting files, according to court records.
Miller's pre-Thanksgiving surprise of releasing the footage of Ellis' interview with prosecutors to the press gave insider perspective of the orchestrations taking place in the wake of the 2020 election loss by then-President Donald Trump.
“So that I can go to sleep well tonight, judge," Miller told Fulton County court Judge Scott McAfee, "I did release those videos to one outlet."
Deputy District Attorney Will Wooten contested this. "There's no first amendment right for the public to access any pretrial discovery materials, so as a threshold matter, we don't believe they have a standing to object period," he said. "We would note that all the individuals and parties that have standing, in some form or fashion, are consenting to this order with some limited objections."
Ellis was among a handful of defendants, including Trump attorneys Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro, who took guilty plea deals with Fulton County prosecutors in return for their testimony.
