Jenna Ellis pleads guilty in Georgia election case, looks back "with deep remorse"

Driving the news: She pleaded guilty to one count of aiding and abetting false statements and writings, according to a court filing before she pleaded guilty in court.

• In addressing the court after she accepted the plea deal, Ellis said that she relied on attorneys with "many more years of experience" than her.
• "If I knew then what I know now, I would have declined to represent Donald Trump in these post-election challenges."
• "I look back on this whole experience with deep remorse," she said Tuesday.

State of play: Prosecutors recommended that Ellis serve five years of probation, pay $5,000 in restitution and testify truthfully at all future hearings involving co-defendants.

• It is also recommended that Ellis serve 100 hours of community service and write an apology letter to the citizens of Georgia.

The big picture: Ellis represented Trump during and after the 2020 presidential election.

• She had been facing two charges, including violating Georgia's RICO act.
• Former Trump attorney Sidney Powell and former Trump campaign attorney Kenneth Chesebro both accepted 11th-hour plea deals last week before jury selection was set to begin for their cases.
