Trump Announced Sidney Powell Joined His Legal Team In 2020, Now Claims
She Was ‘Never’ His Lawyer
After Sidney Powell pled guilty this week to election interference,
Trump claimed she was never on his legal team. That's not what he said
in 2020
"To Donald Trump, the truth is whatever he decides it is. In the wake of Sidney Powell‘s plea deal and despite claiming that she had joined his legal team in 2020, the former president is now alleging she was “never” his attorney.
“Despite the Fake News reports to the contrary… MS. POWELL WAS NOT MY ATTORNEY, AND NEVER WAS. In fact, she would have been conflicted,” Trump posted to Truth Social on Sunday morning.
Trump also said that 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 [sic], AND OUR
COUNTRY IS BEING ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED BECAUSE OF IT!!!” (The election
was decidedly not stolen and was, in fact, “the most secure in American history.”)
Contrary to what he claims now, in 2020 Trump sent out a tweet stating
that Powell was a member of “a truly great team, added to our other wonderful lawyers and representatives.” Powell was listed by name alongside two of Trump’s other attorneys, Rudy Guiliani and Jenna Ellis.
Powell would go on to spearhead many of the nonsensical efforts in court
to overturn the free and fair 2020 election. According to CNN, Powell
was “briefly an official member” of Trump’s legal team in 2020 before she was removed by the Trump campaign, which said that she was
“practicing law on her own.”
I look forward to Mayor Giuliani spearheading the legal effort to defend
OUR RIGHT to FREE and FAIR ELECTIONS! Rudy Giuliani, Joseph diGenova, Victoria Toensing, Sidney Powell, and Jenna Ellis, a truly great team,
added to our other wonderful lawyers and representatives!
