Donald Trump’s former lawyer, Jenna Ellis, appears to have come full circle with her disdain for the ex-president. Perhaps.
In 2016, Ellis called Trump an “idiot” and a “tyrant” who “can’t handle criticism” before she supported him in this year’s election through a Damascene conversion and then became his legal representative when he allegedly tried to overturn the 2020 election results following his loss to Joe Biden.
Now Ellis is one of 18 defendants charged along with Trump in the sprawling Georgia extortion case — and she is not happy The Trump doesn’t finance their defense or that of their co-defendants.
Ellis’ allegations prompted former New York Assistant Attorney General Tristan Snell to suggest last month that she might attack Trump over the Georgia case:
On Thursday, Ellis said on her American Family Radio show that she has “great love and respect” for Trump on a personal level, but claimed she “simply cannot support him for elected office again,” citing his ” malignant narcissistic tendency to do so”. Just say he never did anything wrong.”
