Attorney Jenna Ellis took a plea deal Tuesday in Fulton County, Georgia, according to reports.

Ellis pleaded guilty to one count of aiding and abetting false statements and writings, according to AJC’s Tamar Hallerman.

Ellis’ plea comes days after Kenneth Chesebro and Sidney Powell pleaded guilty as well. (RELATED: CNN Legal Analyst Explains How Sidney Powell Is ‘Bigger Threat’ To Trump)

Chesebro pleaded guilty on Friday in Fulton County. Chesebro was accused of creating fake electors to help Trump win Georgia, with Chesebro’s counsel arguing he was simply trying to offer legal counsel to Trump. Prosecutors allege Trump was trying to use electors to help flip states he lost.

Powell pleaded guilty to several misdemeanor charges and must testify against her co-defendants in future proceedings and write a written apology as part of the plea.
