You're Fired: Conspiracy-Theorist Sidney Powell Booted From Trump Legal Team
- 3 years ago
Business Insider reports the Trump campaign has purged attorney Sidney Powell from its legal team.
Last week, Powell baselessly alleged a global conspiracy to steal the 2020 US presidential election from President Donald Trump.
The conspiracy, Powell claimed, involved hacking voting machines and former Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez. Chavez, a communist, died in 2013.
That dubious claim was then promoted on social media by the Republican Party.
On Sunday, the campaign issued a statement asserting that Powell 'is practicing law on her own.'
