ABC News obtained video from interviews held with Jenna Ellis and Sidney Powell.
\ 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.
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.
Ellis, in her proffer session, informed prosecutors that senior Trump White House official Dan Scavino told her "the boss" would refuse to leave the White House despite losing the election, and alluded to two other instances she said were "relevant" to prosecutors -- but appeared to be prevented from disclosing those in the video portions obtained by ABC News due to attorney-client privilege, which hindered portions of her proffer.
Powell, meanwhile, explained to prosecutors her plans for seizing voting machines nationwide and claimed that she frequently communicated with Trump during her efforts to overturn the 2020 election -- though both now claim she was never his attorney.

I think it was in December 2020 that Trump officially gave orders to began the transfer of power, much to my disappointment.
Has Trump brought any of this up at any recent MAGA rally or is it something he’s being advised against?
I hate the term “overturn the 2020 election.”
I prefer “rectify the 2020 election results.”
The election WAS stolen and Trump won.
It wasn’t to “overturn” the election. The effort was to root out the FRAUD in the election.
Yet another leak from a ‘confidential’ interview...
Such BS!
Doubtful Scavino said that. Trump knew in advance the election was going to be stolen. Space Force monitored the election in real time. They have all the real numbers. That’s why Trump keeps saying he won all 50 states. He knows.
I think at one point they likely did war game just invoking the insurrection act and staying in DC but doubtful Jenna Ellis was let in on it. In the end it was decided that it would have torn the country apart. Trump put us in continuity of govt, got on AF1 with the football and left DC. Did not leave the presidency.
That’s why Trump periodically said “I didn’t sign the insurrection act because I wanted people to see how bad it could be if things were run poorly”. Then he periodically refers to the 4 year pause. “ we decided on a full four year pause so that people would see how bad things could be and so they will be agreeable to the things we are going to do”.
Very good point.
