Trump’s ex-lawyer is now soliciting prayers in legal defense fundraiser, believes Christ will save her from prison
A post shared by Jenna Ellis (@jennaellisesq)She followed that up by making light of the situation by sharing a mugshot meme and another line about her deep Christian faith.“This process is intended to demoralize and intimidate us.
I refuse to let it,” she wrote. “I will have joy and peace in all circumstances because it is TRUE for the Christian that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”A post shared by Jenna Ellis (@jennaellisesq)Throughout all this, Ellis has been fundraising to cover her legal expenses through the crowdfunding site GiveSendGo.
In addition to soliciting donations, she has also been accepting prayers through the giving platform. So far, she’s raised almost $200,000 from roughly 2,600 donors and over 7,000 prayers, with the largest donation appearing to come from right-wing conspiracy theorist Dinesh D’Souza and his wife, Debbie, who gave $10,000.Ellis, who is currently out of jail after posting a $100,000 bail last week, is charged with two counts: one of solicitation of violation of oath by public officer and the other of violating Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.
She has denied any wrongdoing. If convicted, she could face up to 20 years in prison.If you’re wondering why she’s not having her legal expenses covered by Trump, like so many other people ensnared in his numerous lawsuits, it’s because his Save America PAC is reportedly broke after burning through almost $150 million.Per USA Today:His key fund has spent nearly all of the more than $150 million it raised and is sitting on less than $4 million, according to the latest numbers available.
