Sidney Powell, a onetime attorney for former President Donald Trump who helped orchestrate his legal efforts to try to overturn his 2020 election defeat, has pleaded guilty in the sweeping Georgia election interference case.
Powell spread baseless claims of widespread election fraud after the 2020 contest, and worked to access voting machines in Coffee County, Ga., and elsewhere to further those assertions.
Powell is one of 19 people, including the former president, who were charged with racketeering in the case tied to failed efforts to reverse his defeat in Georgia.
She also faced six other charges for her role in organizing an effort to illegally copy election data from rural, Republican-heavy Coffee County. There is no evidence of fraud in Georgia's thrice-counted 2020 election results.
