Sidney Powell, a high-profile attorney who represented former President Donald Trump and supported his 2020 election fraud claims, is requesting that sanctions brought against her and her team be reversed.
Powell and her fellow attorneys submitted a 97-page appeal containing the colorful characterization to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit Court on Monday following a ruling submitted by U.S. District Judge Linda Parker in the Eastern District Court of Michigan. The attorneys, who faced these penalties and sanctions over efforts to overturn election results, submitted the appeal following financial penalties and sanctions imposed against them by the latter court, according to the appeal document obtained by the Washington Examiner.
