Scandal: Scoop on Portia de Rossi's role in season 4 from TVGuide's Adam Bryant

Here's some scoop on Scandal from TVGuide's Adam Bryant's Mega Buzz column, which was posted on 9/16/14. 

What's up with Portia de Rossi on Scandal? — Nancy
Jeff Perry teases that de Rossi will figure "prominently" next season as a "professional in politics," and he will be part of her arc, as Fitz and Cyrus have a renewed focus on work. We still don't know her name yet, but might she be the "Julia" in the first episode's title, "Randy, Red, Superfreak and Julia"?

Scandal: Scoop on Portia de Rossi's role in season 4 from E! Online's Kristin Dos Santos

Here's some scoop on Scandal from Kristin Dos Santos' Spoiler Chat column, which was posted on 9/16/14.

DrewHayes: Any word on who Portia de Rossi is playing on Scandal?
Yes, and the word is a very ugly one when it comes to the kind of White House we've been dealing with. Let's just say it starts with an "R" and she and Olivia and the president probably will not be friends.

Scandal: Scoop on filming locations and scoop on Portia de Rossi's role in season 4 from TVLine's Michael Ausiello

Here's some scoop on Scandal from this week's (Posted on 8/19/14) Ask Ausiello column.

Question: Will Scandal have some scenes shot in Washington D.C. this upcoming season? —Kyle
Ausiello: If not this season then (likely) at some point in the show’s run. “I wish, I hope, I want to,” Shonda Rhimes tells me, adding that “budgets, budgets, budgets” are the No. 1 obstacle to taking the show on the road to the nation’s capitol. “It’s expensive to go there, for any production. But we’d like to. We hope to. We’re trying to save our pennies.”

Question: Any details on Portia de Rossi’s Scandal character? —Paul
Ausiello: I tried mightily to get Rhimes to spill the beans, but all she would divulge is that the Arrested Development vet is playing “a very formidable person.” Actually, that’s a pretty decent tease, considering how tight-lipped Rhimes can be. I’m putting that in the “win” column.
