...""What I did not do, but should have done, your honor, was to make sure that the facts the other lawyers alleged to be true were in fact true," Ellis said. "In the frenetic pace of attempting to raise challenges to the election in several states including Georgia, I failed to do my due diligence. I believe in and I value election integrity. If I knew then what I know now, I would have declined to represent Donald Trump in these post-election challenges."
Ellis was censured earlier this year by a Colorado judge after admitting she made repeated false statements about the 2020 presidential election.
In Georgia, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee has not set a trial date yet for the remaining co-defendants, including Trump.
The former president's federal election interference trial is scheduled to begin in March, so a Georgia trial is unlikely to begin before next spring."
