A former Trump lawyer pleads guilty to election interference

The Important Role of Political Science in the Prosecutor’s Office: A Case Study of a Newly Indicted Presidential Candidate

Ellis was the fourth man to plead guilty in a case focusing on how to keep President Donald Trump in office after his loss to Joe Biden.

The trial was set to start last week, but attorneys Kenneth and Sidney Powell entered guilty pleas. Scott Hall was a bail bondsman.

The terms of the plea agreement also include five years probation, $5,000 restitution to the Georgia secretary of state’s office, 100 hours community service and a letter of apology to the people of Georgia.

Trump lawyers Rudy Giuliani andRay Smith made a list of baseless claims of widespread election fraud at a Georgia Senate Judiciary Committee hearing in December of 2020.

Understanding the significance of these plea agreements is important to understand the importance of Trump’s legal team. As I’ve explained in various pieces, and as the former federal prosecutor Ken White explained to me when I guest-hosted Ezra Klein’s podcast, proof of criminal intent is indispensable to the criminal cases against Trump, both in Georgia and in the federal election case. While the specific intent varies depending on the charge, each key claim requires proof of conscious wrongdoing — such as an intent to lie or the “intent to have false votes cast.”
