Trump’s Denial That Sidney Powell Was Never His Lawyer Prompts Internet Sleuths to Post Clip of Giuliani Calling Her Exactly That
After former President Donald Trump claimed Sidney Powell was never his lawyer following her guilty plea, the progressive watchdog MeidasTouch and others online posted a clip of Rudy Giuliani identifying her as his lawyer back in in November 2020.
Trump reacted to Powell’s guilty plea in the Georgia racketeering case by stating Powell was never his lawyer while continuing to claim the 2020 presidential election was stolen.
“Sidney Powell was one of millions and millions of people who thought, and in ever increasing numbers still think, correctly, that the 2020 Presidential Election was RIGGED & STOLLEN, AND OUR COUNTRY IS BEING ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED BECAUSE OF IT!” Trump wrote on his Truth Social account.
Trump along with 17 other co-defendants faces charges of conspiring to overturn the results of the 2020 election in Georgia. If convicted, Trump could face years behind bars.
However a clip back in November 2020 shows the former mayor of New York City introducing Powell as Trump’s attorney as well as a legal representative of his campaign. During a press conference at this time, Giuliani along with Powell, Jenna Ellis, and others claimed the 2020 election was stolen via election fraud.
“This is representative of our legal team. We’re representing President Trump and we’re representing the Trump campaign. When I finish Sidney Powell and then and then Jenna Ellis will follow me and we will present in brief the evidence that we’ve collected over the last I guess it is two weeks,” he noted.

Moreover, Trump himself on Nov. 14th, 2020, identified Powell as being part of his legal team by tweeting, “I look forward to Mayor Giuliani spearheading the legal effort to defend OUR RIGHT to FREE and FAIR ELECTIONS! Rudy Giuliani, Joseph diGenova, Victoria Toensing, Sidney Powell, and Jenna Ellis, a truly great team, added to our other wonderful lawyers and representatives!”‘
After taking the plea deal, Powell will be forced to testify at future trial and may provide damaging evidence against Trump as his former legal adviser.
