The brief promo video shows Olivia Pope struggling to pull through from the final events in Season 2 where someone revealed she is the mistress of actor Tony Goldwyn's character, President Fitz. Olivia will be facing a tough battle in "Scandal" Season 3 as the media goes crazy searching for answers.

"Is it true that you're having an affair with the President?!" a reporter in the video promo inquires with Olivia Pope looking very unhappy. Furthermore, the President's team appears to be plotting something against Ms Pope with White House Chief of Staff Cyrus Rutherford Beene even claiming that they "need to start a kill folder" on her.

Olivia Pope can be seen in the Season 3 promo video screaming at President Fitz "My name is out there! We need to make a plan" in an attempt to repair their current situation. The final scene from the promo video shows a very distressed Olivia barging into an office with her team inside and yelled "What did you do?!" at someone.

Could that person be the one who exposed her affair with President Fitz? Have a look at the "Scandal" Season 3 promo video for a quick peek on what to expect in the gripping political TV series created by Shonda Rhimes.

In a previous report, actor Tony Goldwyn shared that the early part of "Scandal" Season 3 will identify the person who exposed the affair. "The reveal will come very soon. And you will be really shaken by it," Mr Goldwyn declared in the Huffington Post report.
