TL;DR
Former President Donald Trump claimed that Sidney Powell, who recently pleaded guilty in the Georgia election subversion case, was "never" his attorney, despite her brief stint as an official member of his legal team in 2020. Trump's attempt to distance himself from Powell comes after she agreed to cooperate with prosecutors and potentially testify against her co-defendants, including Trump. Powell peddled unfounded conspiracy theories about election fraud and met with Trump on multiple occasions. In her guilty plea, Powell admitted her role in breaching election systems in Georgia.
