Jenna Ellis, the ex-Donald Trump lawyer who has pled guilty to one charge in the Georgia election subversion case, has launched an attack on the former president and his eldest son on X, formerly Twitter.
In a post that received more than 1.6 million views, she hit out at Trump over his alleged relationship with adult film actor Stormy Daniels, as well as referenced Donald Trump Jr.'s divorce and his current partner being the ex-wife of California Governor Gavin Newsom.
It came after Laura Loomer, a Trump-supporting conservative commentator who Trump Jr. has said should be his father's next White House press secretary, branded Ellis a "disloyal harlot" on X.
Hitting back on Thursday, Ellis posted: "Don Jr's pick for press secretary is claiming I am a 'disloyal harlot' and 'going to hell.' No mention though of Jr's divorce, his girlfriend's divorce from Gavin Newsom, or The Best Christian Ever screwing a porn star while his third wife was pregnant.
Don Jr’s pick for press secretary is claiming I am a “disloyal harlot” and “going to hell.”
No mention though of Jr’s divorce, his girlfriend’s divorce from Gavin Newsom, or The Best Christian Ever screwing a porn star while his third wife was pregnant.
Apparently true…
— Jenna Ellis (@JennaEllisEsq) November 16, 2023"Apparently true Christianity is not based on belief in Christ as Lord, but rather belief in Donald Trump as Savior, King, and next President! Repent and trust the 27-D chess, guys... personnel picks WILL be better this time!"
The post went viral on X receiving 1,700 reposts and over 7,000 likes and being viewed more than 1.6 million times. Newsweek has reached out to Ellis for comment by email and Facebook message, along with Trump and Trump Jr. via an email to the Trump Organization.
Trump Jr. married Vanessa Pergolizzi in 2005 and the couple had five children together before divorcing in 2018. He then entered a relationship with Kimberly Guilfoyle, who was married to Newsom between 2001 and 2006, with the couple becoming engaged in 2020.
Daniels alleges she had an affair with Trump and was paid $130,000 by Michael Cohen, then the business tycoon's fixer, to keep it private ahead of the 2016 presidential election. Trump has denied any sexual relationship with Daniels. He has pled not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business records relating to the alleged hush money payment.
In October, Ellis accepted a deal with Georgia prosecutors which saw her plead guilty to one count of aiding and abetting false statements and writings in relation to the case brought by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis against Trump and 18 others.
She had also been charged with soliciting the violation of oath by a public officer and breaking Georgia's Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, both felonies, though these were dropped as part of the agreement. Ellis was sentenced to five years of probation, 100 hours of community service, and ordered to pay $5,500 in fines and write a letter of apology to Georgia residents. She has also agreed to cooperate with prosecutors in the other Georgia cases, including against Trump.
Speaking in court, Ellis said she regretted representing Trump and failed to do "due diligence" regarding his Georgia election fraud claims.
She commented: "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. In the frenetic pace of attempting to raise challenges to the election in several states, including Georgia, I failed to do my due diligence."
"If I knew then what I know now, I would have declined to represent Donald Trump in these post-election challenges. I look back on this whole experience with deep remorse," she said.
