President Trump’s campaign said in a statement Sunday that Sidney Powell is neither a member of his legal team nor a lawyer for Trump in his personal capacity.
Why it’s important: The Powell campaign was part of a wild, conspiratorial Thursday press conference and baseless conspiracy theories claiming that the president-elect Biden won the 2020 presidential election because of Venezuela’s “communist money”.
- Christie Christie, a former New Jersey Gov. of Trump’s ally, called Powell’s actions a “national shame” because of his “outrageous behavior.”
Don’t forget: The campaign was eventually quarantined by members of the legal team after Rudy Giulini’s son, Andrew, came in contact with the coronavirus.
Notable: Trump Special note K Powell was a member of his campaign’s legal team earlier this month.
Big picture: Powell was the first to become famous for criticizing Mueller’s investigation and for accusing him of lying about his contacts with Russia’s ambassador to the US during Troy’s transition after becoming Trump’s former national security adviser and Michael Flynn’s primary lawyer.
