SUBSCRIBEOn Friday, her co-defendant and fellow Trump attorney Kenneth Chesebro, also pleaded guilty to illegally conspiring to overturn Trump’s 2020 election loss in Georgia. The plea came in just hours after jury selection began ahead of a trial that was planned for next month.According to the plea agreement, Powell agreed to testify in other election interference trials about the hacking of voting machines and software that occurred in rural south Georgia shortly after the incumbent Republican president lost the state of Georgia by less than 12,000 votes to Democratic President Joe Biden.In the weeks following Trump’s 2020 presidential election loss in Georgia, Powell peppered the courts with filings claiming election fraud, she dubbed the “Kraken” legal challenge at the time. She filed one such lawsuit in Arizona, where a federal court judge swiftly dismissed it for “sorely wanting of relevant or reliable evidence” to back up implausible claims of massive election fraud, which included allegations of foreign espionage along with more mundane accusations of illegally cast ballots.Powell has written an apology to the secretary of state’s office and Georgia residents.
