Trump denies Sidney Powell was ever his attorney despite their involvement in the 2020 election.
Former President Donald Trump Denies Sidney Powell as His Attorney
“Sidney Powell was one of millions and millions of people who thought, and in ever increasing numbers still think, correctly, that the 2020 Presidential Election was RIGGED & STOLLEN, AND OUR COUNTRY IS BEING ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED BECAUSE OF IT!!! MS. POWELL WAS NOT MY ATTORNEY, AND NEVER WAS. In fact, she would have been conflicted,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Will Guilty Pleas in Trump’s Georgia RICO Case Impact His Future Trial?
Powell, who briefly served on Trump’s legal team in 2020, has recently pleaded guilty in the Georgia 2020 election subversion case. Despite Trump’s claim that she was never his attorney, he had previously tweeted on Nov. 14, 2020, that Powell and other attorneys, including Jenna Ellis, were part of his legal team.
Trump’s distancing from Powell comes after her plea bargain with District Attorney Fani Willis’s office. She has agreed to testify truthfully in future proceedings involving Trump and 15 other defendants. In her guilty plea, Powell admitted her role in the breach of an election system in rural Coffee County, Georgia. The charges against her were reduced, and the racketeering charge was dropped.
Currently, three out of 19 co-defendants have reached plea deals with prosecutors. However, one of the attorneys, Kenneth Chesebro, has stated that any truthful testimony from him would not implicate Trump.
