Sidney Powell Aniversari, data de naixement
Sidney Katherine Powell (born May 1, 1955) is an American attorney and former federal prosecutor. In August 2023, she was indicted along with Donald Trump and eighteen others in the Georgia election case. In October 2023, she pleaded guilty to six misdemeanor counts of conspiring to intentionally interfere with the performance of election duties. She was sentenced to six years of probation and agreed to testify against the other defendants.
Prior to her political involvement, Powell served as an assistant United States attorney in the Western District of Texas. She was best known for prosecuting high-profile drug smuggler Jimmy Chagra and, as private counsel, defending Merrill Lynch executives in proceedings related to the Enron scandal.
Later in her career, Powell began promoting conspiracy theories. Powell defended retired lieutenant general Michael Flynn in United States v. Flynn, claiming that he was framed by a covert "deep state" operation, and has promoted personalities and slogans associated with QAnon. After the 2020 election, she claimed that there had been a global conspiracy to tamper with voting machines, despite lacking evidence. After she accused the election technology companies Dominion Voting Systems and Smartmatic of engaging in a conspiracy to rig the election, both companies sued her for defamation.
In 2020, Powell joined the legal team of then-President Trump in an attempt to overturn Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 presidential election. Powell continued filing lawsuits independently and ultimately lost four federal lawsuits in Michigan, Georgia, Arizona, and Wisconsin. In August 2021, Michigan federal judge Linda Vivienne Parker formally sanctioned Powell and eight other pro-Trump lawyers for their frivolous suit seeking to overturn Trump's election loss. The attorneys were ordered to repay the legal expenses incurred by the defense and recommended for disbarment. The State Bar of Texas' Texas Commission for Lawyer Discipline brought a disciplinary action against Powell, alleging that she violated the rules of professional conduct governing lawyers. The Fifth District of Texas Court of Appeals in Dallas, led by a three-judge panel, all Democrats, concluded on April 17, 2024, that the State Bar of Texas' arguments were without merit. Powell again avoided bar sanctions on January 31, 2025.
