so, at this point, ms. ellis, you are not required, but the you would like to add anything to the record or address the court, you can do so, and now the appropriate time to do so. >> your honor, i have it in writing of what she is going to say. >> i have it attached as state's exhibit one. >> oh, you have it already. >> and this is going into the state's exhibit one as the written form. >> yes. >> okay. thank you, mr. hogue. >> thank you, your honor, for the opportunity to address the court. as an attorney who is also a christian, take my responsibilities as a lawyer very seriously, and i endeavor to be a person of morale and ethical character in all of my dealings. in the wake of the 2020 presidential election, i believed thatle chaing the results on behalf of president trump should be pursued in a just and ethical way. i endeavored to represent my client in the best of my ability. i relied on lawyers with more experience than myself to give me true and reliable information and especially since my role relied o

well, ms. ellis and ms. powell were purveyors of the falsehoods of him winning, and they have backed down and plead guilty, and mr. chesebro was a architect of the legal theory, and he has backed down, and so it is pulling the rug out from under donald trump's defense, and this is very, very ominous for him as a state and federal criminal defendant and the same for giuliani. >> norm eisen, thank you so much for jumping on, and jessica schneider, and nick valencia for the great reporting, and what this means and where it is going, but it is looking like dominos for sure. and we go to capitol hill with more news >>> now we are down to seven people, seven candidates in the speaker race, and the house republicans are voting behind closed doors trying to pick a new speaker, and now, looking at the latest to drop out is alabama's gary palmer withdrawing his name from consideration moments ago. manu raju spoke to him moments ago. >> reporter: how is this whole episode reflecting on the house gop? >> poorly. very, v

should i focus on ms. ellis' incourt statements in should i focus on who these people are and what they claim? if nothing else, what's true tonight could not have been reported as a fact a week ago. what's true tonight cannot be dismissed or minimized or lied about by some of these people who of course have been, well, held accountable for their lies. what's true tonight is something very clear. when you look at what's happened, it is now a legal and journalistic and public reality fact that three people who worked for donald trump, as his lawyers, all confess and admitted together, they committed crimes to try to steal the election. they're busted, they're guilty, they're convicted, and they're ready to talk about what he did. we have a special guest, former federal prosecutor john flannery when we're back in just 60 seconds. just 60 seconds. each planning their future through the chase mobile app. jen x is planning a summer in portugal with some help from j.p. morgan wealth plan. let's go whiskers. jen y is wo

jeremy liu, and ms. ellie liu. >> mr.. >> the honorable john berry and curtis yee. >> the honorable holland, secretary of the interior. >> the honorable caroline kennedy, ambassador of the united states to australia, and dr. edwin schlock burn. . >> mr. john gray and mrs. mindy gray. >> the honorable antony j blinken, secretary of state. >> ms. valerie biden owen. >> the honorable bonnie jenkins. >> the honorable katherine clark , united states representative from massachusetts. >> the honorable michael mccaul, united states representative from texas, and mrs. linda mccall. >> i think we will pass our appropriations bill and the israeli -- iran bill, and then the security package. that will be russia's threat to ukraine and europe, china's threat to the pacific, the threat to the middle east, and securing the border. the reason why we are linking the threats together, -- >> do you have a message for president biden tonight? >> [indiscernible] it is all about national security. and what is happening in israel, we have to s

ms ellis is the third former trump lawyer to take a plea deal.ld now testify against the former president. live to washington, we can speak to north america correspondent nomia iqbal. let's go back to new york and told us is been happening there. donald trum and us is been happening there. donald trump and michael: _ us is been happening there. donald trump and michael: haven't - us is been happening there. donald trump and michael: haven't seen . us is been happening there. donald i trump and michael: haven't seen each other in five years and michael cohen cut off ties with him and is gone on to write best—selling books and tv personality and prominent political commentary or doesn't miss an opportunity to criticise donald trump and his mystical and puts it after he had given testimony at break time, he says heckuva reunion. that's one way of putting it. and mr cohen gave evidence to a congressional group which looked into donald trump's finances knows the impetus of this and this investigation that the attorney general brought forward and as yo

ms. ellis's is going to have impact on john eastman and rudy giuliani when she said that i wish i had not paid attention to other lawyers who are more senior than me, and they have more to fear at this point. >> and if she knew then what she knows now, she wouldn't have worked for the trump campaign, and i can guarantee you that this is something that trump who is headed to another new york courtroom did not want to hear. >> and now, with this jenna ellis plea deal, it has to do with the aiding and the abetting of the false brwriting and it h to do specifically with the georgia legislative subcommittee where rudy giuliani is there, and i did false stuff, but how threatening is that to rudy giuliani? >> i think it is very effective and she relied on him, and saying that there were multiple lawyers who had greater expert experience and expertise on them, and she wished she hadn't, and so it is pointing finger squarely at giuliani and increases pressure on him, and not clear to any circumstances that giuliani would cooperate, and perhaps he would enter a guilty plea at some point, and this i

i'm curious if you could give us any of your view of how someone like ms. ellis, who started to speak out publicly against trump, might feel. i've interviewed her, and everyone is presumed innocent. when i interviewed her, she was very fired up about the claims she was making at the time. she's walked some of those back under pressure. she's no longer supporting donald trump in the political sense. and how might she react to finding out, she wakes up and goes, oh, these other so-called loyalists, they got a ticket. i don't know if they called and gave her a heads-up, a courtesy. this is her career. she's got -- a normal life span, she's got decades left to figure out how she wants to live. >> you know, you're right. i'm no psychologist, but let me venture a guess based on human experience. when you are part of a shared enterprise, whether it's a practice tenderty or sorority or club or a criminal conspiracy, there has to be some sense that you are all working toward a common goal. when it becomes clear that some individuals have defected from that goal, that can

ms. powell was not my attorney and never was. that claim is false, but it is also telling. i'll show you exactly why. here was then rudy giuliani introducing his co-counsel, turned codefendant, powell and ellis. >> this is, um, a representative of our legal team. we're representing president trump and the trump campaign. when i finish, sydney powell and then jenna el its will following me. >> powell and ellis, from the mouth of giuliani. you see them there. also having a sidebar chat at many press conferences during the period they were trying to steal the election. powell worked for trump. he even mused heading her to a new position, that could have helped with a military coup, which they abandoned. his efforts to muddy their links now and what she did for him is a very specific thing. it is an acknowledgement that it matters. here is last week. >> how do you plead to the six counts of conspiracy to commit intentional interference with performance of election duties? >> guilty. >> how do you plead to count 15, conspiracy to to file false documents? >> guilty. >> can you speak your try and correct name. >> sydney and powell. >> kenneth john chesebro. >> how old are you, ma'am? >> oh, gosh. 6
