Trump attorney Sidney Powell pleads guilty in Georgia election subversion case
Sidney Powell, former attorney for Donald Trump, has pleaded guilty in the Georgia election subversion case.
This comes just one day before her trial was set to begin.
Fulton County prosecutors are recommending a sentence of six years probation for Powell.
As part of her guilty plea, Powell is admitting her role in the breach of election systems in rural Coffee County, Georgia.
With the help of local GOP officials, a group of Trump supporters accessed and copied information from the county's election systems in an attempt to prove that the election was rigged against Trump.
Powell's attorneys have vehemently rejected the prosecutors' claims, stating that she was not the driving force behind the incident.
They argue that the evidence will show her innocence.
Powell is now the second person in the racketeering case to plead guilty.
Bail bondsman Scott Hall previously pleaded guilty and agreed to testify at future trials.
The other 17 defendants, including Donald Trump himself, have pleaded not guilty.
The trial of pro-Trump attorney Kenneth Chesebro is scheduled to begin with jury selection on Friday.
Sidney Powell's guilty plea in the Georgia election subversion case is a significant development.
Stay tuned for more updates on this ongoing trial.
