Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is the 45th and current president of the United States. Before entering politics, he was a businessman and television personality. Trump was born and raised in the New York City borough of Queens, and received a bachelor's degree in economics from the Wharton School. He took charge of his family's real-estate business in 1971, renamed it The Trump Organization, and expanded its operations from Queens and Brooklyn into Manhattan.
The company built or renovated skyscrapers, hotels, casinos, and golf courses. Trump later started various side ventures, mostly by licensing his name. He owned the Miss Universe and Miss USA beauty pageants from 1996 to 2015, and produced and hosted The Apprentice, a reality television show, from 2003 to 2015. Forbes estimates his net worth to be $3.1 billion.
Attorney Jenna Ellis, once a steadfast media defender of Donald Trump and his false claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him, pleaded guilty today in the Georgia election case.
Ellis, who was a former legal adviser to Trump, pleaded guilty to a single felony charge of aiding and abetting false statements and writing.
She was sentenced to five years probation, $5,000 restitution and 100 hours of community service. In court, with her voice quavering, Ellis said that she failed to do her “due diligence” in investigating the claims that the election was rigged. “I believe in and I value election integrity,” Ellis said. “If I knew then what I know now, I would have declined to represent Donald Trump in these post-election challenges.
I look back on this whole experience with deep remorse.” She told the judge that she had taken responsibility already before the Colorado Bar Association, which has censured her. “I now take responsibility before this court and apologize to the people of Georgia.” Ellis is the fourth defendant to plead guilty in Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ case.
