'In her proffer interview, Ellis told prosecutors she was informed at a 2020 White House Christmas party by one of Trump's top aids, Dan Scavino, that Trump "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 with Scavino. "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.'"
Ellis said she told him, "'Well, it doesn't quite work that way, you realize?' and he said, 'We don't care.'"'
