Former Trump lawyer censured over false statements on 2020 election

• Presiding disciplinary judge Bryon Large wrote in an opinion signed Wednesday that Ellis "repeatedly made misrepresentations on national television and on Twitter, undermining the American public's confidence in the 2020 presidential election."

Between the lines: The public censure "reinforces that even if engaged in political speech, there is a line attorneys cannot cross, particularly when they are speaking in a representative capacity," the Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel said in a statement.

Worth noting: Despite the admission in the stipulation, Ellis tweeted Thursday: "I would NEVER lie. Lying requires INTENTIONALLY making a false statement. I never did that, nor did I stipulate to or admit that."

• Ellis added that her attorneys and the Colorado bar counsel "concluded that it was best to resolve the bar complaints by agreeing to a public censure."
