Former Trump attorney Jenna Ellis to cooperate in fake electors case

Jenna Ellis, a one-time attorney for former President Trump, has agreed to testify against her co-defendants in the Arizona fake electors case in exchange for the state Attorney General's Office dropping charges against her.

Why it matters: Ellis is the first of 18 defendants in the alleged plot to overturn Arizona's 2020 presidential election results to cooperate with the state AG's office.

The big picture: A grand jury indicted 11 electors who cast false votes for Trump in 2020 after now-President Biden won Arizona, along with seven other people involved in the alleged plot. The defendants have all pleaded not guilty.
