Sidney Powell's plea could be bad news for Trump!

[planosteve]

Right-wing attorney Sidney Powell pleaded guilty Thursday to criminal charges stemming from the Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump and more than a dozen other defendants.

Powell's plea agreement with prosecutors, the second in the case so far, came one day before jury selection in her trial was set to begin.

The sudden flip by Powell, who spread wild voter fraud conspiracies after Trump lost the 2020 election and filed lawsuits attempting to reverse that outcome, could ramp up pressure on her co-defendants to cut their own plea deals.

Powell, 68, pleaded guilty in Fulton County Superior Court to six misdemeanor counts of conspiracy to commit intentional interference with performance of election duties, a court filing shows.

She will face six years of probation, a $6,000 fine and $2,700 in restitution to Georgia as part of the deal negotiated with prosecutors, according to remarks in a court hearing Thursday morning.

A first-time offender, Powell will not face jail time.

She will also be required to write an apology letter to the state of Georgia and its citizens.
