Both have recently taken plea deals with Powell pleading to six misdemeanors instead of the seven felonies she was initially charged with.  Ellis pleaded to one felony count of "aiding and abetting false statements and writings" instead of two felony charges, including Count 1, the racketeering charge.

The video obtained by ABC News shows Ellis in a proffer interview telling prosecutors that then-Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino told her that "the boss is not going to leave under any circumstances"  while at the White House Christmas party around December 19th, 2020.  In the interview, Ellis said:

"I emphasized to [inaudible] my thought that the claims and the ability to challenge the election results was essentially over because [cut] and he said to me in a kind of excited tone 'we don't care and we're not gonna leave.'"

Ellis would go on nine days later to encourage President Trump never to concede.  On December 28th, 2020, Ellis tweeted "President Trump should never concede the election."

As reported earlier Wednesday by The Gateway Pundit, a protective order to seal discovery items outside the public record today was heard in Fulton County.  During that hearing we discovered perhaps why the two high-profile criminal attorneys representing Fulton County in Favorito et al v. Wan et al withdrew: they are now representing one of the men indicted in the Trump RICO case.

But we also learned who released the proffer video to a media source.
