Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes’ office announced Monday that Jenna Ellis, a former Donald Trump attorney and one of the 18 defendants in the Arizona “fake electors” case stemming from the 2020 election, is cooperating with the prosecution.
Ellis signed the cooperation agreement Monday morning, according to the announcement, which said prosecutors are dropping the charges against her.
“This agreement represents a significant step forward in our case,” Mayes, a Democrat, said in a statement.
In 2023, Ellis pleaded guilty in the Georgia election interference case in which Trump was also charged.
Those accused of being “fake electors” and the others alleged to have been accomplices are charged with fraud, forgery, and conspiracy.
