Jenna Ellis, who served as a lawyer for former President Donald Trump and was indicted alongside him in Georgia, needs to know why the ex-president’s tremendous PAC isn’t paying her authorized payments.
“I was reliably informed Trump isn’t funding any of us who are indicted,” Ms. Ellis wrote on X, previously generally known as Twitter. “Would this change if he becomes the nominee? Why then, not now?”
Ms. Ellis faces racketeering and different legal costs together with Mr. Trump and 17 different co-defendants for his or her efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election ends in Georgia.
Ms. Ellis’ put up was in response to a separate put up from Matt Schlapp, the chairman of the American Conservative Union, who wrote: “The sooner we unify behind a nominee the sooner we can use resources to fund the defenses of everyone indicted for being a Trump Republican. This [has] become about a bigger principle than just one man.”
The Trump marketing campaign and the tremendous PAC Make America Great Again Inc. didn’t publicly reply to Ms. Ellis. The Washington Times reached out to each.
“I totally agree this has become a bigger principle than just one man,” Ms. Ellis responded to Mr. Schlapp. “So why isn’t MAGA, Inc. funding everyone’s defense?”
The criticism from Ms. Ellis comes on high of reviews that Mr. Trump has been siphoning off donations to pay his authorized charges. Campaign finance filings present repeated expenditures on authorized consulting by the Save America management PAC, a joint fundraising committee sponsored by Mr. Trump.
Former New York Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani, one other former lawyer for Mr. Trump and a co-defendant in Georgia, can be dealing with large authorized payments.
He is charged with racketeering, a number of counts of solicitation of violation of oath by a public officer, a number of counts of false statements and writings, conspiracy to commit impersonating a public officer, two counts of conspiracy to commit forgery, two counts of conspiracy to commit false statements and writings and conspiracy to commit submitting false paperwork.
