'Holy cats, Trump is done': Republican responds to new evidence in Fani Willis case

A former Republican lawmaker says ex-President Donald Trump "is done" after Jenna Ellis admitted to Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis' investigators that she was told he wouldn't leave the White House, despite having lost the 2020 election.

"Holy cats," wrote former U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), "Trump is done."

Willis has accused Trump and a dwindling number of co-defendants of racketeering to overturn election results in Georgia.

News broke Tuesday that Ellis, among several who accepted a plea deal in exchange for testimony, revealed details of her White House Christmas party conversation with former deputy chief of staff Dan Scavino.

"The boss is not going to leave under any circumstances," Scavino reportedly said excitedly. “We are just going to stay in power.”

Ellis said she replied, "Well, it doesn't quite work that way, you realize?”

According to Ellis, Scavino replied, "We don't care."

Trump has pleaded not guilty to criminal charges and decried the Georgia election fraud case as a "witch hunt." On Tuesday, a representative for Rudy Giuliani, who worked closely with Ellis, issued a statement demanding his charges be dropped based on evidence given by Sidney Powell.

This is not the first time Kinzinger, one of two House Republicans to join the Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack, has criticized Trump.

In August, he took to the airwaves to raise concerns about the leading Republican candidate's mental health.

“You see a man that is literally, I think, literally losing his mind," Kinzinger said. "I don't even mean that metaphorically."
