Top Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis has announced he is leaving the Republican Party. The move comes after an email from the Republican National Committee, chaired by Ronna McDaniel, was released that was criticizing Ellis’s legal efforts to challenge the 2020 election results.

The Washington Examiner reports:

“I am leaving the Republican Party until the Republican Party comes back home to conservatives,” she said during an follow-up appearance on Newsmax, on which she is a contributor.

A November email reported by the Washington Postshowed Justin Riemer, chief counsel for the RNC, discouraging a staffer from posting about ballot fraud claims made by Trump’s team. He called the legal endeavor led by Rudy Giuliani and Ellis “a joke” that was misleading millions of people.

“I led the RNC legal team in over 55 lawsuits on behalf of the President’s reelection, winning a majority of them, including the only successful post-election lawsuit. Any suggestion that I did not support President Trump or do everything in my power to support the RNC’s efforts to reelect President Trump is false,” Riemer said in a statement reported by the outlet. “I will say publicly now what I then said privately: I take issue with individuals who brought lawsuits that did not serve President Trump well and did not give him the best chance in court.”

Ellis also tweeted Sunday evening it “is true” Giuliani told Riemer to resign from his post as RNC chief counsel in November after he questioned Trump’s election fraud claims, according to an account in a new book by Michael Wolff. However, an RNC spokesperson said the story was “simply false.”

So far, the RNC nor former President Trump have commented on Ellis’s departure from the Republican Party.
