Sidney Powell Offers Apology in Georgia Election Case
Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro, two lawyers formerly in the employ of then-President Donald Trump who have pleaded guilty in the 2020 Georgia election case, have issued apologies for their actions
“I apologize for my actions in connection with the events in Coffee County,” Powell stated in her letter.
Kenneth Chesebro, another lawyer involved in the case, also offered an apology. He expressed remorse for his actions, saying, “I apologize to the citizens of the State of Georgia and of Fulton County for my involvement in Count 15 of the indictment.”
These apologies come as part of a series of letters written last October. These letters were published by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, which obtained them through a public records request.
Scott Hall, a bail bondsman who pleaded guilty in the case, wrote a third apology letter.
Although I certainly did not mean to violate any laws, I now realize that I did and have accepted responsibility for my actions,” Hall wrote in his letter.
The case centers around allegations of illegal activities during former President Donald Trump’s challenge to the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia. Prosecutors have accused 19 individuals, including former President Trump, of violating laws, such as Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.
Fani Willis, the Democratic district attorney of Fulton County, emphasized the importance of genuine remorse in the apology letters. She stated that the letters should convey “real contrition,” although they did not need to be lengthy.
Jenna Ellis, another lawyer, also submitted an apology letter. However, she read hers aloud in court while pleading guilty. Ellis acknowledged her belief in the righteousness of challenging the election on behalf of President Trump. She admitted to failing in her due diligence, saying, “What I did not do but should have done, Your Honor, was to make sure that the facts the other lawyers alleged to be true were, in fact, true.”
The guilty pleas in this case have been a subject of controversy. Steve Sadow, representing President Trump, attributed the pleas to pressure from Willis and the threat of prison time. He noted that most counts, including the racketeering charge, were dismissed for the four individuals who have entered guilty pleas.

They got to her. oh well…..
They got nothing. There are multiple instances of hundreds of illegal votes plus the Texas AG saying Democrats stopped counting votes for 3 hours late on election night. The gaslighting has gotten to you.
This is so sad to hear they had to lie to save themselves
This is such a miscarriage of Justice! I understand Giuliano, Powell, Ellis-and others that backed down from the truth of the election fraud are afraid…. But do ANY of Trump’s lawyers have a plan to keep cheating out of 2024’s election?
A total disgrace. I watched the state hearings from all around the country with seasoned election workers stating they had personally witnessed illegal action throughout the process. Disgusted with Sydney Powell after all her grandstanding, how DARE she capitulate to the crooked sleazeballs who suggest challenging elections which were obviously not held according to law is somehow wrong or illegal.
I really wish they would not have caved… they have overturned elections which should have ended these witch trials but the dems know we are weak and will not riot like they will
