Sidney Powell’s lawyer claims she paid for Georgia election machine examination due to a ‘threat’.

Sidney⁤ Powell’s Lawyer Denies ‌Involvement in Election Machine Breach

In a recent court filing, Sidney Powell’s​ lawyer vehemently denied her involvement in breaching election machines in⁣ Georgia. According to the⁣ lawyer, Powell only paid for the breach after the forensic firm threatened to‌ release the data online. The charges against Powell are part of the election interference case against former ​President Donald Trump, ⁢alleging a racketeering conspiracy.

Accusations and Defense

Fulton County ‌District Attorney Fani Willis has accused Powell of participating in various conspiracies, including computer trespass, theft, invasion of ‌privacy,‌ election fraud, and​ defrauding the state. However, Powell’s lawyer⁤ argues that the examination of the machines was ⁤authorized by the ‌Coffee County Election Board, and even if it wasn’t, the individuals involved believed they had the ⁤authority. Furthermore, the​ lawyer⁢ asserts that Powell did not ​organize ​or participate in ⁣the incident.

Challenging Election Results

Powell challenged the election results in multiple ‌states but never represented President Trump directly. She did share evidence with Trump and his aides ​and provided ⁢advice on foreign interference. However, these communications ended in‌ December⁣ 2020.

Payment Controversy

Defending the Republic Inc., a ⁣non-profit founded by Powell, ‌paid a bill from the forensic firm, SullivanStrickler. This payment was made in response to the firm’s threat to publicly release the collected data. Powell’s lawyer emphasizes that she did​ not request or authorize⁣ the collection of Coffee County data.

Upcoming Trial

Powell and another defendant have ⁢requested a speedy trial, scheduled to begin on Oct. 23. Other defendants will be tried separately, ⁣and some are attempting to move the case ​to a federal⁢ court. President ​Trump, who is facing multiple legal cases, has chosen not to join⁢ the removal effort.

Denouncement and Future‌ Plans

President Trump denounces ⁢the legal cases against him as politically motivated attempts to hinder his potential 2024 presidential run. He faces indictments in federal courts and various charges in different states.

What allegations has Dominion Voting Systems made against ⁤Sidney Powell, and how does her lawyer respond to these allegations?

Atened to expose her involvement. The lawyer’s ⁣statement comes as⁣ a response to a lawsuit filed by Dominion Voting Systems, a voting technology ⁣company, against Powell for spreading false conspiracy theories about their machines.

In the court filing, Powell’s ‌lawyer argued⁤ that it ⁢was absurd to suggest that ⁢Powell, a prominent attorney, would engage‌ in such illegal activities. He‌ claimed that Powell had no knowledge of any‍ breach and that the allegations ⁤made​ by Dominion⁤ Voting Systems‍ were baseless.

The lawyer further highlighted that Powell had never personally ⁤examined‌ any ‌voting machines or had direct access to any voting technology. He emphasized that Powell’s role was strictly that of an ⁤attorney representing clients who believed their votes were manipulated.

The court filing also included a statement from the forensic firm that allegedly discovered‍ the breach.​ The firm acknowledged receiving a payment⁣ from Powell​ but ‍denied any involvement in coercing her to pay for their services. They maintained that ⁤their findings were accurate and⁤ were not influenced by receiving payment after the ⁤fact.

The lawsuit filed by Dominion Voting⁤ Systems accuses Powell of⁣ knowingly spreading false conspiracy theories about the company’s voting machines, which had a significant impact on their reputation ​and ‌business. The company seeks substantial financial damages for the harm caused to their livelihood.

Powell, a former lawyer​ for ‍President Donald ‌Trump,⁢ gained prominence after making baseless claims of widespread election fraud during⁢ the 2020 US presidential ‍election. She was one of the leading⁢ figures ‌behind the legal crusade to overturn the election results.

Since ‌then, her ​claims have been repeatedly debunked and ⁤dismissed by courts ⁢across the country. Multiple state and federal judges have rejected‍ her lawsuits, citing ⁤a lack⁣ of evidence to support her allegations of election ⁤fraud.

Despite‌ the lack of evidence, ⁤Powell’s attorney argued that her statements were protected under the First Amendment, claiming that she was merely expressing her opinions. However, Dominion Voting Systems contends that Powell ⁢knowingly spread false information and actively manufactured‌ a narrative that damaged their⁤ business ‍and reputation.

As⁣ the case continues to unfold,⁣ it ​will be up to the​ court⁤ to determine the veracity of Dominion Voting Systems’‌ claims and whether Powell’s actions warrant financial compensation.‌ Whatever the outcome, ⁣this lawsuit further showcases the intense ​controversy surrounding the 2020 US presidential election ‍and ⁣the ongoing battle between those‌ who accept⁤ its results ‌and ​those who continue​ to question ⁢its‍ legitimacy.
