Former Trump attorney Jenna Ellis has agreed to cooperate with Arizona prosecutors in the state's 'fake electors' case. This agreement, announced by Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, allows Ellis to avoid potential jail time in exchange for providing evidence against other defendants and testifying in the case. The charges against Ellis will be dropped as part of the cooperation deal. Ellis had previously participated in a proffer session with Arizona prosecutors on June 17 to determine the value of her information. This development is part of a broader investigation stemming from the 2020 election, involving 18 defendants. Ellis also took a plea deal in the Georgia investigation.
