The Colorado Supreme Court suspended the law license of former Trump attorney and Rudy Giuliani’s hair dye towel girl Jenna Ellis for at least three years as part of a deal for her role in 2020 election interference efforts, including lying to state legislatures, the Denver Post reports. She faced permanent disbarment, but the panel took her limited participation and ongoing cooperation as factors for a lesser punishment.
Here, while disbarment is the presumptive sanction for Respondent’s misconduct, it is significant that her criminal culpability was due to her conduct as an accessory, not as a principal,” the submitted agreement reads. “The evidence surrounding her plea reflects that she aided and abetted the false statements at issue through her presence at the Georgia Senate Subcommittee meeting, but did not otherwise contribute to drafting or preparing the false statements, She has also expressed remorse and has recognized the harm caused by her misconduct, see Exhibit 4, and has taken significant, concrete steps to mitigate the harm her misconduct has caused. Considering all of the factors described above, as applied to this case, a fully-served three-year suspension is an appropriate sanction
