WASHINGTON — Sidney Powell, the Dallas lawyer who was once a key member of Donald Trump’s legal team until the former president’s personal attorneys publicly disavowed her, has been the subject of renewed focus as the House panel probing the Jan. 6 Capitol riot continues its bombshell public hearings.
On Tuesday, during the panel’s seventh public hearing on the attack and how it developed, Powell again found herself in the spotlight as the committee released more details about a December 2020 meeting one aide called “unhinged.”
As dozens of lawsuits and his claims of voter fraud fizzled, Trump met late into the night of Dec. 18 with Powell and other attorneys at the White House before tweeting the rally invitation — “Be there, will be wild!”
