Former Trump attorney Sidney Powell bashed the 'troubling practices' of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis in a filing Wednesday asking for her Georgia election racketeering case to be dismissed.
Former Trump attorney Sidney Powell bashed the"troubling practices" of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis in a filing Wednesday asking for her Georgia election racketeering case to be dismissed.
Powell was accused of conspiring to commit election fraud in Coffee County after the 2020 election. However, she claims that a forensic scan of the voting machines she is accused of plotting to breach was authorized by local authorities so the case should be dismissed."As the State well knows, Coffee County officials authorized SullivanStricklerLLC to image the voting systems in the county on January 7, 2021. Both the Election Supervisor for the county and the Board authorized the review.
Lawyers claimed in the filing,"The essential elements of the charged statutes show the state’s case depends on the forensic collection being done without authorization.""Ms. Powell’s counsel also believes there are text messages and other documents, including grand jury testimony by Paul Maggio of SullivanStricklerLLC, that not only show authority was given but also demonstrate that Ms. Powell did not agree with anyone to access the Coffee County machines," the filing read.
Powell is one of 19 co-defendants, including former President Donald Trump, accused by Willis of conspiring to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
