Jenna Ellis Was Told Trump ‘Was Not Going to Leave’

November 13, 2023 · 6:05 pm ET · Leave a Comment

“As part of a plea deal, one of former President Donald Trump’s attorneys has told prosecutors in Georgia that she was informed in the wake of the 2020 election that Donald Trump was ‘not going to leave’ the White House — despite the fact that he had already lost the election and most of his subsequent challenges,” ABC News reports.

“The revelation, along with others, came during a confidential interview the attorney, Jenna Ellis, had with Fulton County investigators. ABC News has obtained portions of videos of the proffer sessions of both Ellis and Sidney Powell, two attorneys who aided Trump’s efforts to overturn the election. The videos for the first time reveal details of what they have told law enforcement since agreeing to cooperate last month in the district attorney’s election interference case.”
