What is Jenna Ellis?
Jenna Ellis is an American lawyer who is known for being a member of Donald Trump’s legal team. She was born on November 1, 1984 in Colorado and was homeschooled by her parents. She graduated from Colorado State University with a degree in journalism and from the University of Richmond with a law degree. She worked as a deputy district attorney in Weld County, Colorado and as a contract attorney for the US government. She also wrote a book called “The Legal Basis for a Moral Constitution” and taught at Colorado Christian University. She became a senior legal adviser for Trump in November 2019 and was involved in his efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results. She made several false and unsubstantiated claims about the election and was censured by the Colorado Supreme Court for her misconduct. She was also indicted by a grand jury in Georgia for allegedly participating in a criminal enterprise to interfere with the election.
