Trump Lawyer Sydney Powell pleads guilty to election interference

[NBC] Former Trump attorney Sidney Powell pleaded guilty Thursday morning in the Georgia election interference case just a day before jury selection in her trial alongside co-defendant Kenneth Chesebro was set to begin.

Powell pleaded guilty to six misdemeanor counts of conspiracy to commit election interference in Fulton County Superior Court as part of a deal reached with prosecutors.

Powell agreed to serve six years of probation and pay a $6,000 fine and $2,700 in restitution to the state of Georgia. She also agreed to submit an apology letter to the citizens of Georgia and to testify at related court proceedings.

Powell was one of 19 defendants named in District Attorney Fani Willis' indictment, which also charged former President Donald Trump.

Powell, who acted as one of Trump’s lawyers after his 2020 election loss to Joe Biden, was charged with racketeering, conspiracy to commit election fraud, conspiracy to commit computer theft, trespassing and invasion of privacy, and conspiracy to defraud the state.

She had originally pleaded not guilty in the case and had agreed to a $100,000 bond.

Reached for comment Thursday, an attorney for Chesebro, who like Powell had served as a lawyer for Trump during the effort to overturn the election, said he had no immediate reaction.

#2 Ugh. Not a very high price to pay to be reaccepted by her social circle, even if it is a lie.

That’s really upsetting, Captain Bumble1717. There was a time when one of the late night comedians would have played this kind of thing for laughs — you know, “See how stupid the people of St. Louis/Los Angeles/Phoenix/Atlanta are. They’ll sign anything!” — but these people think it’s a good idea. Do you know where he’s doing it?
