Powell, who was angry that Trump didn’t act on her counsel, is the now government’s most prominent asset in its quest to convict him.
Attorney Sidney Powell waves at attendees at a news conference on election results in Alpharetta, Ga. on Dec. 2, 2020.
For now, the terms of Powell’s plea agreement prohibit her from discussing the case publicly or speaking to others charged.That leaves associates to debate whether she is now a Trump antagonist or remains a loyal foot soldier. She gained prominence in 2019 when she took over the defense of Trump’s former national security adviser, Michael Flynn, who had pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI. She went to great lengths for her client, writing to then-Attorney General William P. Barr about the matter, and, by her own account, personally briefing Trump on the case. The Justice Department announced plans to drop the case in 2020, and Trump ultimately pardoned Flynn.
Late on a Friday night a week before Christmas, Powell and a handful of others, including Flynn, urged the president to take extreme measures to unearth evidence of fraud and reverse his defeat, according to the testimony of people present. As thean aide described it in a text message as “UNHINGED.” Still, Trump erupted at the defense, and she quickly fell out of favor with him, said people familiar with the matter, who said she has not been a presence in his inner circle for several years.
Moseley, the attorney who has represented Jan. 6 defendants, said the money hasn’t always come through as promised. One of his paralegals still needs to be paid, he said, and another attorney has complained to him of not receiving payments for some time. The deal means “better consequences for her,” Moseley said, but it puts her standing in the pro-Trump movement in doubt. “It’s going to be hard to rally the troops after this,” he said.
