Jenna Ellis, a conservative media figure and former attorney for Donald Trump, is crowdfunding her defense fees after being indicted along with the former president and 17 others earlier this week.

Ellis posted a link to her crowdfunding campaign on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, on Tuesday evening with a quote from attorney Mike Melito, who she says is representing her.

"We will fight for Jenna. If you would like to help support our efforts please consider donating by clicking the link below," the quote reads. "America and the profession of law are worth the fight."

NPR reached out to Melito, who owns a law firm based in Denver, multiple times to verify the quote and his representation of Ellis, but did not hear back before publication.

Start of the grift as her former "employer" will be sending her and the others right under the bus.

She was censured by the Colorado Chief disciplinary judge this past March - https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/news/colorado-attorney-trump-legal-adviser-jenna-ellis-censured/

1. on one hand i'd like to give her my two cents!

but fuck her!

2. No, flip her!

3. I hope this doesn't trigger an alert, but it's interesting to check out her fundraiser site.

The GiveSendGo website is mentioned in the Tweet embedded in the NPR article, and it shows that she has raised a bit over $14,000 so far. In other words, almost nothing (though it just started today) - and I doubt she'll be getting much more as a result of this DU post.

Of note, 222 people have signed up to donate for her and 1270 have signed up to pray for her, so I guess any judgment about how well she's doing depends on how you keep score.

6. That will just about cover her initial appearance

if she doesn't eat lunch

9. Well, instead of buying a red trump hat, Trump cult could donate to her???

I doubt they will.

4. With Trump vacuuming the MAGAts at full suction, not much left for Ellis. (fake tears)

5. I predict she will be one of the first to roll on him. She has no money and is too soft to do time.

She's a loudmouth, but when it comes down to it, she's shitting her pants right now.

7. Not University of Richmond Law's finest

8. IOW she will be another GOP flunky in the web of the big money guys who buy pols

Interesting side effect of Trump's criminal conspiracy: Makes it easier for the dark money men to buy up puppets as flunkies desperate for money to pay lawyers.

10. That's gonna be a crowded space here soon...

18 co-conspirators all vying for crowdfunded legal defense funds; good luck! lol

11. Good, I hope they all bleed the dummies bank accounts dry so they become destitute

and can't fund tRumps election.

12. Waste of money. She is going down in Georgia.

[JudyM]

13. I wonder if there's a chance potential donors might actually start reading

parts of the indictment when considering whether/how much to donate. Or at least watch parts of the actual proceedings since they’ve committed money to her success.

14. There's too many pages

(98)

15. You mean God is not coughing

up the cash for her? I mean, she seemed pretty sure He was on her side.

[aggiesal]

16. Grifters got'a grift. n/t

[pfitz59]

17. Are these crowd-sourced funds taxable?

Ho about the Trump PAC funds he's using to cover legal fees. Shouldn't the URS be involved?

[bedazzled]

18. Praying is cheaper

Unfortunately she has 48,000. It should last a week
