She wanted to have her spaghetti and eat it too, but no go.
Jenna Ellis was censured by a disciplinary judge in Colorado Wednesday,
in the latest effort to hold accountable attorneys who boosted former President Donald Trump’s 2020 election reversal gambits.
Ellis signed a stipulation stating that several comments she made about
the 2020 election violated professional ethics rules barring reckless, knowing or intentional misrepresentations by attorneys, according to documents posted by Colorado’s Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel. As part of the stipulation, Ellis agrees to pay $224.
Rudy Giuliani, personal lawyer to U.S. President Donald Trump, listens
as President Donald Trump speaks during a news conference in the James
S. Brady Press Briefing Room at the White House in Washington, D.C.,
U.S., on Sunday, Sept. 27, 2020. Trump denied a report that he paid just $750 in federal income taxes in 2016 and 2017, and repeated his stance
to only share his tax returns after an audit is finished.
Among the false statements highlighted in the stipulation were comments
by Ellis on social media and in TV appearances claiming that the Trump campaign had evidence the election was “stolen.”
“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.
