"The View's" Alyssa Farah Griffin confirmed Tuesday that she was told while working as a White House aide that Donald Trump wasn't going to leave after 2020.
Trump's former lawyer Jenna Ellis revealed in an interview to the Fulton County district attorney's office — revealed by ABC News Monday — that an excited White House aide had told her that they weren't leaving on Jan. 20 when Joe Biden was inaugurated.
"The boss is not going to leave under any circumstances," social media staffer Dan Scavino reportedly said. “We are just going to stay in power.”
Talking about it on "The View" Tuesday Farah Griffin, who worked as a communications director under Trump, told the co-hosts, "But what is wild about this [Jenna Ellis] clip is the language model, something nearly identical to that which White House chief of staff Mark Meadows said to me on Dec. 3rd of 2020.
"I'd gone into his office to say that I was going to resign. I didn't agree with what we were saying about the election result of the election being stolen. And he said, 'Wait, what if I can tell you that we're not leaving office?'"
It's a timeline that adds to details that Ellis revealed to the Fulton County prosecutors. In her case, a key date shows Trump was still refusing to leave even after Dec. 11, when he'd lost appeals over the election result at the Supreme Court.
Farah Griffin said that she reported Meadows' comment to federal investigators and the House Select Committee that looked into 2020 and Jan. 6.

"This proves what she's saying, that the upper tier of the White House was actually trying to unlawfully and unconstitutionally hold on to power," she continued. "I think Georgia has Donald Trump in a really tight spot. That's the hardest one, I think, for him to get out of. But here's what I would say is this: We don't even need to think about just what he did last time around. The agenda he's talking about for 2024 is scary enough."
She cited Trump's pledge to put people in "camps" and carry out revenge on four-star generals and those he sees as having wronged him.
