#TrumpVsPowell Sidney Powell, once part of Donald Trump’s legal team, became controversial for promoting unfounded claims of election fraud after the 2020 U.S. presidential election. Initially supported by Trump, Powell was later distanced by his team as her theories drew criticism. In 2023, Powell pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges in Georgia related to efforts to overturn the election results, agreeing to testify in related cases. Trump has since downplayed her role in his legal efforts, claiming she was never his attorney. Their relationship reflects the internal conflicts and legal fallout from attempts to challenge the 2020 election outcome.
