Trump Lawyer Admits to Falsehoods in 2020 Fraud Claims

"Ms. Ellis, part of the so-called elite strike force of lawyers that took to the air and traveled across the country in support of Mr. Trump’s false claims of fraud, is also embroiled in the Justice Department’s investigation of the former president’s sprawling efforts to reverse his loss to Joseph R. Biden Jr. As part of the investigation — which was taken over in November by a special counsel, Jack Smith — dozens of grand jury subpoenas have been issued, many of which have requested information about Ms. Ellis.
 
Jenna Ellis, a lawyer who represented President Donald J. Trump after his loss in the 2020 election, admitted in a sworn statement released on Wednesday that she had knowingly misrepresented the facts in several of her public claims that widespread voting fraud led to Mr. Trump’s defeat.

Some of the lies were:
"We have over 500,000 votes [in Arizona] that were cast illegally . . .”
“The outcome of this election is actually fraudulent it's wrong, and we
understand than when we subtract all the illegal ballots, you can see that President
Trump actually won in a landslide.”
