Jenna Ellis was told Trump was 'not going to leave' White House after losing election

An attorney who tearfully accepted a plea deal in the Georgia election fraud case against Donald Trump says she was told the former president “was not going to leave” the White House after losing the 2020 election, according to a new report.

Jenna Ellis detailed to investigators from Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ office a White House Christmas party conversation she'd had with former deputy chief of staff Dan Scavino, according to recordings obtained by ABC News.

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

Neither Scavino nor the Fulton County District Attorney responded to ABC News’ request for comment, which was declined by Ellis’ attorneys. Steve Sadow, Trump’s lead attorney in the Georgia criminal corruption case, called Ellis’s statement “bogus.”

"If this is the type of bogus, ridiculous 'evidence' DA Willis intends to rely upon, it is one more reason that this political travesty of a case must be dismissed,” Sadow told ABC News.

Ellis was initially one of 19 co-defendants in the racketeering indictment Willis filed in August, but has since joined a growing number of “flips” who’ve accepted plea deals in exchange for testimony.

According to ABC News, Ellis told Willis’ team that she was puzzled by Scavino’s statement.

“I said to him, 'Well, it doesn't quite work that way, you realize?'”

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

In response to Raw Story's reports about Ellis and Sidney Powell, Ted Goodman, political advisor to Mayor Rudy Giuliani, sent the following statement:

"The government's main witness, Sidney Powell, just cleared Rudy Giuliani from any involvement in a conspiracy by making it unequivocally clear that Rudy Giuliani told her that he would never work with her on anything, under any circumstances. If Fani Willis had any integrity, she'd dismiss the case against Rudy Giuliani and end this farce of a trial designed solely to keep President Donald Trump out of the White House in 2024."
