A video of prosecutors’ interview with former Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis has sent MAGA supporters into a fury, Newsweek reported.
In the video, filmed before Ellis made a plea deal and published by ABC News Monday, Ellis tells prosecutors that Trump aide Dan Scavino told her “in an excited tone” at a White House Christmas party weeks after the 2020 election that “the boss is not going to leave under any circumstances.”
“And he said to me, in a kind of excited tone, ‘Well, we don’t care, and we’re not going to leave,'” Ellis said of the alleged Dec. 19 conversation.

“And I said, ‘What do you mean?’ And he said ‘Well, the boss’, meaning President Trump — and everyone understood ‘the boss,’ that’s what we all called him — he said, ‘The boss is not going to leave under any circumstances. We are just going to stay in power.'”
Responding to the video on X, diehard Trump supporter Laura Loomer slammed Ellis as a "grifter"
And conservative commentator Rogan O'Handley alleged the video was released so that prosecutors could fundraise.
"Drive the news cycle on Tuesday, get [Fani Willis] some buzz, then collect all the DC swamp cash on Wednesday," he wrote on X. "These Marxists are scum."
