In a recent move that underscores a further unfolding of the fake electors' saga, Attorney General Kris Mayes has announced a cooperation agreement with Jenna Ellis, one of the defendants. Ellis, who has been charged with a series of serious offenses including fraud and forgery, appears to have cut a deal with the state's prosecution. The terms of the agreement include the dropping of all charges against her in return for her cooperation, as detailed on the Arizona Attorney General's website.

The legal twist has been regarded as a significant breakthrough by the Attorney General herself. "This agreement represents a significant step forward in our case," Mayes expressed in a statement. "I am grateful to Ms. Ellis for her cooperation with our investigation and prosecution. Her insights are invaluable and will greatly aid the State in proving its case in court." However, with this cooperation comes an acknowledgement from Mayes that the integrity of American democracy cannot be jeopardized, and her commitment to safeguarding it remains unwavering.

Ellis, a prominent figure in the controversy, faced nine felony charges that included allegations of participating in a conspiracy to submit false electors in the aftermath of a heated election. Now turning into a state witness, Ellis' decision may pivot the direction of the case for the 17 other defendants who remain charged and whose legal outcomes are yet to be decided.
