Arizona AG drops Jenna Ellis charges after a cooperation agreement
Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes announced that Jenna Ellis signed a cooperation agreement in the fake-elector case. The state agreed to drop the charges against Ellis in exchange for her cooperation with prosecutors. Prosecutors had charged Ellis with other Trump allies over efforts to change Arizona's 2020 presidential result. The agreement changed Ellis's case posture while the broader prosecution continued.
