Attorney General Mayes Announces Cooperation Agreement in Fake Electors Case

PHOENIX - Attorney General Kris Mayes today announced a cooperation agreement with a defendant in the fake electors' case. Jenna Ellis signed the agreement earlier this morning. The State has agreed to drop the charges against Ms. Ellis in exchange for her cooperation with the prosecution.

"This agreement represents a significant step forward in our case," said Attorney General Mayes. "I am grateful to Ms. Ellis for her cooperation with our investigation and prosecution. Her insights are invaluable and will greatly aid the State in proving its case in court. As I stated when the initial charges were announced, I will not allow American democracy to be undermined - it is far too important. Today's announcement is a win for the rule of law."

Ms. Ellis had previously been charged with nine felonies including fraud, forgery and conspiracy. The case against the other 17 defendants remains ongoing.
