Who is Jenna Ellis?
JENNA Ellis is making headlines after protesting her political party. Ellis is a former member of Donald Trump's legal team who claimed he won the election. Ellis, 36, is an American lawyer and author known for being the former legal advisor for Trump. Born November 1, 1984, Ellis got her law degree in 2011 after graduating from University of Richmond School of Law, prior to that she attended Colorado State University. In 2020, the Colorado Sun reported that Ellis was fired from the Weld County DA's office after making mistakes. According to documents obtained by the Colorado Sun from the Department of Labor and Employment, Ellis "failed to meet the employers expectations," and "made mistakes on cases the employer believes she should not have made." Ellis was the former deputy district attorney at Weld County District Attorney's Office before she was let go. On Monday July 12, 2021, Ellis announced she was leaving the Republican Party during a monologue on her Real Americas Voice show Just The Truth. Ellis rage-quit the party after claims that they are not backing former President Trump enough, she also accused the Republican National Committee of "not championing the issues" to make America great. "All of them, including Ronna McDaniel, should resign now," she said. "Until they do, as of today, I am resigning from the party, I am changing my voter registration and I am no longer a Republican until the party decides that it wants to be conservative again." "Even if I stand alone for the truth, I will stand for the truth," she concluded. Ellis was previously married to David Rives, a TV host and podcaster. The couple married in June 2019 and then reportedly separated months after the wedding in August 2019. In a now-deleted Facebook post from Ellis, she claimed that the reason for their separation was ignorance towards the church authority and lack of accountability towards their married life. "As you know, my husband David Rives chose to Separate in August. He refuses all church authority, accountability, or biblical counseling for some very critical issues," she wrote on Facebook. "It is time to walk in truth openly and that the body of Christ should encourage my husband toward truth and God, especially because he claims to be in ministry leadership and is ignoring his Christian duty in many respects."
