Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes has announced that former Trump attorney Jenna Ellis has agreed to cooperate with prosecutors in the Arizona fake electors case. In a deal that allows Ellis to avoid potential jail time, she will provide evidence that could implicate other defendants. This development follows the earlier revelation that the first criminal defendant in the 2020 fake electors scheme in Arizona has also agreed to cooperate with the state's criminal investigation. The AG's Office will drop the charges against Ellis in exchange for her cooperation. Ellis sat down with Arizona prosecutors on June 17 for a proffer session, an interview to decide if she had valuable information to offer the investigation.
