TL;DR Summary

Former Trump loyalists who pleaded guilty in the Georgia 2020 election interference criminal case shed new light on their efforts in videotaped conversations with prosecutors, revealing that the former president was not going to leave the White House "under any circumstances." Ex-Trump attorneys Jenna Ellis, Sidney Powell, and Kenneth Chesebro, as well as Atlanta-based bail bondsman Scott Hall, provided statements as part of their plea deals. The videos obtained by news outlets show Ellis expressing concerns about Trump's limited legal options, to which Dan Scavino, Trump's former deputy White House chief of staff, allegedly responded that "the boss" (Trump) would not leave. Other defendants, including Powell, Chesebro, and Hall, also revealed details about their involvement in election challenges and efforts to reverse the election outcome. Trump has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
