Another one bites the dust: This Thursday, Former Trump attorney Sidney Powell has pleaded guilty to six counts of conspiracy for aiding the former U.S. president’s efforts to overturn his election defeat in the state of Georgia — making her the second person to take a guilty plea in the sprawling state case.
Powell has been accused of spreading baseless claims of widespread election fraud following the 2020 presidential election that Donald Trump lost. In addition to that, she allegedly worked to access voting machines in Coffee County, Ga., and elsewhere to further those assertions.
Miss Powell was originally looking at racketeering and other charges in Georgia, but thanks to her plea deal, she agreed to reduced charges. As a result of her crime, a judge on Thursday said she faces one year of probation for each of six charges and must testify truthfully against co-defendants.
As we previously reported, Scott Graham Hall, an Atlanta-area bail bondsman, pleaded guilty back in September in the election interference case. Hall was allegedly involved in commandeering voting information that was the property of Dominion Voting Systems from Coffee County. His bond was set at $10,000, according to an agreement with the DA’s office.
He was sentenced to five years of probation and hit with a $5,000 fine. In addition to that, 200 hours of community service.
Meanwhile, Trump, the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, has pleaded not guilty to a sweeping Fulton County, Georgia, indictment which charges him with violating Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations, or RICO, act in its efforts to overturn his loss to President Joe Biden.
