Jenna Ellis testified that she was told by Trump’s deputy Chief of Staff that he was not going to leave the White House.
She said she was told this at a Christmas party around December 19th. While she didn’t name Dan Scavino, that’s who it sounds like she was talking about.
Ellis said she told him that it doesn’t work that way, to which he claimed they don’t care. He said Trump was going to stay in the White House and stay in power:

Now obviously that didn’t happen and I am most certain that Scavino would say he didn’t say that. But that is what Ellis said in the deposition and that’s interesting.
