It was all lies.
Jenna Ellis is a former Liberty University representative, Colorado Christian University law professor, former host of a podcast titled “Just the Truth,” and a Trump election fraud lawyer who, along with Rudolph Giuliani, tried to overturn the 2020 president election. She has had a lot to say about “truth”:
She loves every opportunity to speak the truth:
God’s truth:
The battle for truth:
Democrats manipulate the truth:
Truth and stupidity:
“allegiance to truth and fact”:
She’s interested in “facts and truth”:
She speaks unpopular truth:
She seeks to amplify truth:
Indeed, the TRUTH will come out:
I think you get the idea. And these tweets are just from 2023.
Now here is Quentin Young at Colorado Newsline (bold is mine):
Jenna Ellis, the Colorado attorney who was former President Donald Trumpās senior legal advisor as he tried to overturn his 2020 election loss, has beenĀ censuredĀ by a Colorado judge for misconduct.
The public censure order was signed Wednesday by Presiding Disciplinary Judge Bryon M. Large, who oversees lawyer discipline cases in Colorado.
As part of an agreement in the case, Ellis admits that multiple statements she made in late 2020 about the presidential election being stolen were āmisrepresentations.ā
Those statements were part of an effort by Trump to reverse President Joe Bidenās victory, and they helped fuel the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. AĀ majorityĀ of Republicans, including thoseĀ running to chairĀ the Colorado Republican Party, continue to doubt the 2020 election results.
Ellis had been under scrutinyĀ by the Colorado Attorney Regulation Counsel Jessica Yates, who investigates allegations of lawyer misconduct,Ā since at least last yearĀ when a nonprofit alleged Ellis violated multiple professional rules.
In an opinion accepting a censure agreement between Yates and Ellis, Large noted that Ellis has agreed that her statements about the election being stolen were misrepresentations, which he said were made āwith at least a reckless state of mind.ā Ellis also agreed that she, āthrough her conduct, undermined the American publicās confidence in the presidential election, violating her duty of candor to the public,ā Large wrote, adding that āa selfish motiveā and āa pattern of misconductā were aggravating factors in the case.
Yatesā complaint cited 10 misrepresentations by Ellis. On Nov. 20, 2020, for example, Ellis made stolen-election claims on Maria Bartiromoās show on Fox Business and Sean Spicerās āSpicer & Co.ā show.
āWe have affidavits from witnesses, we have voter intimidation, we have the ballots that were manipulated, we have all kinds of statistics that show that this was a coordinated effort in all of these states to transfer votes either from Trump to Biden, to manipulate the ballots, to count them in secret,ā Ellis falsely said on Bartiromoās show.

Between the recent news from the Dominion Systems v. Fox News suit and now this, I can’t agree more with David French:
Ellis wants people to believe “misrepresentation” is an innocent mistake:
“The politically-motivated Left failed miserably in their attempt to destroy me. Theyāre now trying to falsely discredit me by saying I admitted I lied. That is FALSE. I would NEVER lie. Lying requires INTENTIONALLY making a false statement. I never did that, nor did I stipulate to or admit that. As has become sadly typical, the opposition-controlled media is intentionally twisting the truth, conflating the full RPC standard with the actual stipulation. The standard reads, ‘dishonesty, fraud, deceit, OR misrepresentation.’ā
The actual meaning is somewhat different: “A misrepresentation is a false or misleading statement or a material omission which renders other statements misleading, with intent to deceive. Misrepresentation is one the elements of common law fraud, and other causes of action for fraud, such as securities fraud.”
