Trump attorney Jenna Ellis arrives for a news conference at the Republican National Committee headquarters in Washington, Nov. 19, 2020.
Jenna Ellis, legal counsel for President Trump’s (R-Texas) campaign, said Tuesday (Dec. 22) that her team plans to continue its investigation into the 2020 presidential election fraud after a joint session of Congress on Jan. 6.
“The American people deserve to know the truth and see this (investigated) come out, so we’re going to continue those efforts.” Ellis said in an interview with radio show host Dan Caplis.
“In the long run, this is absolutely not going to end on Jan. 6, because it should never happen again in the course of the entire history of the United States.”
She said that while Jan. 6 is the “ultimate” date set by the U.S. Supreme Court, it is necessary for them to proceed with the election challenge in order to protect the integrity of future elections.
“The Democrats have been using this pandemic (Communist pneumonia) from beginning to end to eliminate election safeguards. They have rigged some of the laws.” Ellis said it is important to look at the entire election process, which is not partisan, because “the integrity of the election matters.”
“If you care about elections not being stolen in any way, shape or form, and you care about our system and our constitution, you care about whether we have proper (election) safeguards in place.” She said.
Lawsuits filed by Trump’s legal team in the past few weeks point to a significant portion of ballots that were allegedly fraudulent or were cast and counted in violation of state election laws and the U.S. Constitution. Many of the lawsuits seek to invalidate potentially illegal ballots that were cast after election officials made last-minute changes to the rules.
To date, however, a large percentage of the lawsuits have been dismissed by judges, including the federal Supreme Court, for what they call “procedural irregularities.
Members of both the House and Senate have now said they will come forward to challenge the Electoral College’s vote for Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden at a joint session of Congress on Jan. 6.
The first to initiate this action was Alabama Congressman Mo Brooks (R). Since then, a growing number of Republican lawmakers have said they intend to challenge the Electoral College vote during the congressional session, including Alabama Senator-elect Tommy Tuberville (R).
