Ellis flips.

  • Five years' probation
  • $5000 restitution
  • Apology to the People of the State of Georgia
  • Testimony cooperation agreement

The charge she is pleading guilty to is "aiding and abetting false statements and writings," in relation to the Dec 3, 2020, presentation before the Georgia State Senate committee, where Guiliani and others presented false testimony that:

  • 96,000+ mail in ballots were counted falsely
  • 2500 convicted felons voted,
  • 66,000+ underage people voted,
  • almost 2500 non-registered people voted
  • 1000+ people voted registered using a PO box
  • 10,315 dead people voted
  • Fulton County election workers ordered a poll watcher and media to leave and continued to count votes

Ms. Ellis makes a statement to the court at ~17:00, which appears to be her apology statement to the People of the State of Georgia.

At the end of the proceedings, defense requests that Ms. Ellis be allowed to travel out of state prior to the probation being transferred to her state of residence (Florida). The State does not oppose this, and the exception is granted.
