A central lawyer in Donald Trump’s efforts to reverse his loss in the 2020 presidential election pleaded guilty Thursday in a Georgia courtroom and agreed to turn over documents and testify truthfully in the sweeping state criminal case against the former president.
Information from lawyer Sidney Powell could give prosecutors a stronger case against Trump and reveal what went on behind closed doors at the White House in the push to overturn election results in Georgia and other battleground states.
Powell, Trump and 17 other defendants were charged earlier this year in a 41-count indictment in Fulton County, Ga., that accused them of operating as a “criminal organization.”
