Sidney Powell, the headline-grabbing attorney who was seemingly part of President Donald Trump’s legal team, responded late Sunday to the Trump campaign’s statement that she was, in fact, never a member of the campaign’s legal team.
In a shock move late Sunday, Trump campaign senior legal adviser Jenna Ellis and Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani released a statement that said:
Sidney Powell is practicing law on her own. She is not a member of the Trump Legal Team. She is also not a lawyer for the President in his personal capacity.
The announcement was, of course, surprising given that Powell appeared at a press conference last week with Trump’s legal team during which she claimed widespread voter fraud had occurred through voting software. Powell was even identified on TV as a member of Trump’s legal team.
Even Trump himself referred to Powell as a member of his legal team just nine days ago.
What did Powell say?
In an initial statement provided to CBS News, Powell said she was aware of the Trump team’s statement and continued to claim that Trump had votes “stolen” in the election.
“I understand today’s press release. I will continue to represent #WeThePeople who had their votes for Trump and other Republicans stolen by massive fraud through Dominion and Smartmatic, and we will be filing suit soon. The chips will fall where they may, and we will defend the foundations of this great Republic. #KrakenOnSteroids,” she said.
