'The boss is not going to leave': Videos show ex-Trump lawyers telling prosecutors about efforts to overturn 2020 election
ABC News ^ | November 13, 2023 | Will Steakin

Posted on 11/13/2023 6:53:06 PM PST by Trump20162020

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.

She was informed, BY WHOM? Easy to throw stuff out there, without needing a source.

What about Trump201620202024?

Sorry, the 2020 election was stolen from PDJT. As time goes on this is becoming painfully obvious.

There is a huge difference between overturn and contest through lawful process.

“obtained” my a**...

This was given to ABC to further the narrative.

Did Trump NOT step down? Did Trump refuse to leave office?

No - he left and then you guys “wrote a law” to prevent what was supposedly ALREADY ILLEGAL.

THIS IS BS.
