Sidney Powell, the former lawyer for ex-President Donald Trump, entered a plea of not guilty to all charges against her. According to court filings cited in multiple news reports, Powell is facing allegations of involvement in a scheme to overturn Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 Georgia election. In addition to Powell, Ray Smith, another lawyer, and Trevian Kutti, a former publicist for rapper Ye (formerly known as Kanye West), have also pleaded not guilty and filed waivers for formal arraignment.
All 19 individuals charged in the case, including Trump himself, surrendered to Georgia authorities last week. Trump’s arraignment is scheduled for September 6. Powell, on the other hand, is facing seven charges, including violation of Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, conspiracy to commit election fraud, and conspiracy to defraud the state.
Both Powell and co-defendant Kenneth Chesebro, also a lawyer, have requested a speedy trial. Chesebro’s trial date has been set for October 23 by Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee, but a ruling on Powell’s request is still pending. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has urged that all defendants who request speedy trials be tried together.
Willis wrote in a court filing, according to CNBC, “All Defendants should be tried together, but at an absolute minimum, the Court should set Defendant Powell’s trial and that of any other defendant who may file a speedy trial demand on the same date as Defendant Chesebro’s.”
