Trump co-defendant Jenna Ellis pleads guilty in Georgia election case
ATLANTA — Jenna Ellis, a former lawyer for Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign, pleaded guilty Tuesday to illegally conspiring to overturn Trump’s 2020 election loss in Georgia, making her the third attorney associated with the former president to accept a plea deal in the sweeping criminal racketeering case.
Ellis, who had been facing two charges including violating Georgia’s anti-racketeering act, pleaded guilty in court Tuesday morning pleaded guilty in court Tuesday morning to a single felony count of aiding and abetting false statements and writings. The deal allows her to avoid jail time in exchange for providing evidence that could potentially implicate other defendants and agreeing to testify in any future trials. Ellis worked closely with personal Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, another defendant in the case who faces 13 charges.
The plea marks the first time a senior Trump aide has been held criminally accountable for and has admitted to making false statements that the 2020 presidential election was tainted by widespread fraud. In a hearing Tuesday morning, Ellis tearfully admitted that she was wrong and misled and that she no longer believes those false claims.
“If I knew then what I know now, I would have declined to represent Donald Trump in these post-election challenges,” Ellis said.
Appearing before Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee on Tuesday, Ellis and her attorneys Franklin and Laura Hogue listened as a prosecutor read out details of an amended indictment. According to the details of the agreement, Ellis agreed to complete three to five years probation and 100 hours of community service, and to pay $5,000 in restitution to the Georgia secretary of state. She agreed to write a letter of apology to the state of Georgia.

Re: Trump’s Troubles
Oh dear.

BREAKING: Donald Trump has a middle of the night meltdown over his failing 2024 campaign and desperately lashes out at President Biden over his multiplying indictments.
This guys is clearly coming apart at the seams...
Apparently unable to sleep, Trump took to Truth Social late last night and demanded to know why "Crooked Joe Biden" didn't have the Department of Justice files its lawsuit and indictments against him "3 years ago, instead of right in the middle" of his presidential campaign.
The answer is both obvious and twofold. Firstly, Joe Biden did not have his Justice Department do anything. He is not pulling the strings behind the scenes. Investigators looked into the facts because that's their job and the facts show that Donald Trump repeatedly broke the law.
Secondly, it takes time to carry out a proper investigation. The reason the Justice Department didn't immediately indict Trump for his crimes is because they needed time to gather investigate and question witnesses. It's that simple. The timing with the election is purely coincidental.
Trump wasn't done with that little opening barrage of complaints though, and he went on to implicitly threaten to weaponize the Justice Department against Biden if he wins in 2024—
"You’re setting a BAD precedent for yourself, Joe. The same can happen to you," wrote Trump. "These Third World Biden Indictments, which should never have been filed, would have been tried and over with years ago. My SleazeBag Opponent shouldn’t be able to do this during my campaign, OR BEFORE THE ELECTION!"
These are not the words of a man who is confident in his future. These are the words of a man who feels helpless to stop all of the mountains of evidence arrayed against him.
Trump can rant on Truth Social all he wants. In the end, it won't save him.

Donald Trump might have broken Judge Tanya Chutkan's gag order just 75 minutes after it was reinstated: Trump attacked his former attorney general — and potential witness — Bill Barr on his failed social media site.

Point of Order 1 - Joe Biden wasn’t President three years ago…
Point of Order 2 - Donald Trump isn’t the nominated Republican Presidential Candidate at this time (de facto, maybe, but he hasn’t been confirmed by Republican National Convention, which takes place in July 2024).

He’ll still be president. Most likely.

Trump's not popular enough with the electorate to win another term, but popular enough to win the Republican nomination.
Economically, the US is doing very well so no one's going to risk that by voting for Trump, however poorly the President comes across.

The economy was doing well under Trump.
Biden has diminished the USA's standing in the world, the USA isn't feared...which is bad for everyone.

And now it's doing very well. I know which one voters prefer.

Trump's done worse in that area, just look at his relations with the Israeli PM!

Re: Trump’s Troubles
Fellow Republican Presidential candidate De Santis has launched the T rump Accident Tracker in response to his competitor who seems to be suffering from the same issue he has accused Biden of.
In the interests of balance, perhaps they're not age-related, perhaps they're simply due to the pressure from the criminal cases surrounding him?
To add a bit of colour to the recent Trump gaffes:
Quote:
At his most recent campaign appearance there were hoots from the crowd in Sioux City, Iowa, when he began: “A very big hello to a place where we’ve done very well: Sioux Falls. Thank you very much Sioux Falls.”
... at a New Hampshire rally on October 23 Trump praised Viktor Orban, the Hungarian prime minister, as “the leader of Turkey”, and he informed his audience in Sioux City that “Hungary fronts on both Ukraine and Russia.” Ukraine lies between Hungary and Russia.
