Ellis was one of Trump's attorneys in the wake of the 2020 election, making her the third former Trump attorney to take a deal in just a matter of days.

Like the other plea deals, Ellis will receive probation in exchange for her testimony in the case.

She will get five years' probation and pay $5,000 restitution, perform 100 hours of community service, and write an apology letter.

Defendants Kenneth Chesebro, Sidney Powell and Scott Hall subsequently took plea deals in exchange for agreeing to testify against other defendants.
