"The State has agreed to drop the charges against Ms. Ellis in exchange for her cooperation with the prosecution.""This agreement represents a significant step forward in our case," Mayes said. "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. As I stated when the initial charges were announced, I will not allow American democracy to be undermined - it is far too important. Today's announcement is a win for the rule of law."Ellis had been charged with nine felonies before the agreement.ALSO READ: Don't be fooled: Project 2025 is already happeningThe attorney general's office said the case against 17 other defendants was ongoing.Some of those indicted included former Trump attorneys Rudy Giuliani, Christina Bobb, and John Eastman.
