Former US President Donald Trump has distanced himself from lawyer Sidney Powell, who pleaded guilty to charges related to interfering with the 2020 Presidential Election in Georgia. Trump clarified that Powell was never his attorney and he did not authorize her representation. Powell has agreed to pay a fine, write an apology letter, and cooperate with prosecutors. Another lawyer involved in the case has taken a plea deal and promised to testify against his co-defendants. Trump, who also faces charges in the same case, has pleaded not guilty. Powell gained attention for baseless claims about election fraud and unsuccessful lawsuits challenging the election results.
